Song of the Chapter: Bring It Back
"And I can't go back / To this, to her / To what we used to have / Is black, and burnt..."

"Now, explain to me again why you're moving to Chicago?" I roll my eyes at the question that has been asked of me for the past two days. Thank god we were only speaking over the phone so my mom couldn't see my eye roll; she'd tell me something for sure.
"Because that's where I'm training for a fight." I reply.
"And how long is training?"
"A couple of months. Renting out a hotel would be too expensive, and I know I have the money for it, it's just stupid to do that."
"Then where you moving to?"
"Some little place for Nora and I." I answer.
"Oh, she's going with?" Her voice is hostile as she asks her question.
"Yes, my fiancé, the woman I am engaged to is going with."
"Watch your tone."
"Sorry. But yes, she's coming with. I'm not just gonna leave her."
"Is she okay with the move? Doesn't she have work or something?"
"She's being transferred over to a practice here. Nora's already in Chicago meeting with people."
"Mm hm. And, how is the wedding planning going?"
"We both decided not to jump right into a wedding. Plus, I'm already a best man for Jack's wedding with Paige."
"Oh he's really getting married? That's good for him, tell him I said congratulations." She says. "How was the launch party? You never spoke to me about that."
Again, another eye roll was in store. This is where she wants to talk about Jasmine and me. Deep down inside, she still has some kind of hope that one day I'm going to magically wake up and realize that I want to be with Jasmine.
"It was fine. I said nice things about the person who interviewed me." I reply.
"And do they have a name?"
I sigh. "Yes, she does."
"Well What is it? I'm sure it's a very beautiful name."
"Her name is Jasmine."
"Jasmine what?"
"What are you playing at? You know her name! Why do you want me to say it out loud? Jasmine Elle Callaghan! Do you want me to call her up and ask what her moms last name is, too?" I reply.
"Now that you mention Jasmine, have you talked with her?" She replies.
A scoff escapes my throat as I pinch the bridge of my nose. "No, we haven't spoken. I don't plan on it and I doubt she wants to talk to me either!"
"How would you know that if you haven't even spoken to her?"
"You just know things."
