Surprises are unexpected. Life is full of them that's for sure. Life is going well, your strolling along and it's just another day. You can never suspect what will happen next. 


A man stood " TK.... is that you?!"

I stood there in shock and I didn't let go of Carlos's hand " oh... uh Alex"

He looked at me " it's been a long time..."

I looked at him " it has...."


The last time I saw him I proposed and he broke my heart


He looked at me " last I heard you moved to Texas..?"

I looked at him " I live in Austin yeah"

He awkwardly looked at Carlos " I'm uh... Alex"

Carlos just looked at him " I know who you are"


He didn't know what to say " oh... uh"

I looked at him " Alex this is my husband Carlos!"

He looked at me "husband! .... how long have you guys been married?"

I smiled " 6 years... we have a daughter together..... uh, you still with what's his name... Michael...?"

He looked at me " Mitchell... no no I'm not with anyone"


Carlos looked at me " hey babe do you need a minute... I can get us a table"

I looked at my sweet husband " yeah... I'll be right in..."


Alex looked at me " he seems really great"

I smiled " he is! I've never been happier!"

Alex looked at me " that's great.... listen TK I know I hurt you.... but after you just left I wanted to talk... I feel bad about how things ended."

I looked at him " cut the crap... we don't need to do this.... listen I'm really happy with Carlos and our beautiful little girl.  When you broke my heart I was a mess I bought some oxy and I overdosed. I almost died! It took a lot for me to let Carlos in but I did. We're only going to be here for a few days until we go back home....."

He looked at me " I heard about the relapse and I'm sorry"

I looked at him " don't be... I've been clean for 8 years. I have everything down in Austin... now I really should be getting back to my husband."

Alex looked at me " ok... for what it's worth it was good seeing you... You look really great TK"
