[ RF ] Years after their divorce & with little contact since , a former couple meets for dinner with their new partners

I do n't know what I had expected.I do n't know why I even thought this would be a good idea.Actually, I did n't think it was a good idea, I just felt like doing it. 
 
 Seeing her face again after so long as she walked towards the table flooded me with memories.This was the face I used to wake up to.This was the face that would remind me of how blessed I was.This was the face that at one point, was my sole motivation to get to where I was now.This was the face of an angel that I used to pray god would n't take from me. 
 
 Both me and my fiancee stood up and greeted her and her slick husband.I used a greeting that was often times a lie. `` Its good to see you'' I said,'' its good to see you too'' she replied.She probably meant it.I did n't. 
 
 She nervously greeted my fiancee, I mean why should n't she be nervous.My finacee was an eye-catcher.Wherever we went, we became THE people to talk about.To people, I'm the decent looking guy that everyone loves and envies at the same time.Love because I inspired, envied because I had it all.Put me together with a woman that looks like she does and you'd be astonished at how many times a person will speak your names.They saw her for her looks though, much like my ex wife was doing now, thank god they did n't know her, they did n't deserve to know such a woman. 
 
 I greeted her husband with a firm handshake and a wicked grin that immediately put him off.He knew very well what I was doing and I hoped so badly he would tell her something along the lines of `` he was an ass'' as they drove back to their meager lives. 
 
 We finally sat and ordered.She picked the Alfredo off the menu like she always did.Not many words were exchanged.We mostly talked about everything our partners did right and everything they did wrong. 
 
 She started to go on and on about how her husband treated her like a queen and how much they have despite not having much of anything. I showed off my fiancee some more and after a moment of silence my ex began to talk in a sad but hopeful tone saying `` He wakes me up and reminds me that things are going to be alright.That one day we'll have more than just the world we have now.'' 
 
 I stopped.I looked up and stared at them.They were looking at each other with big smiles and hands touching.It hit me then.She used to do the same thing.She used to wake up and made me know that everything would be okay.I would've given her the world if she had n't made me feel that there was no world to give at the end of our marriage. 
 
 There I was, trying to flaunt the fact that I became so successful after such a short amount of time but that did n't mean anything.I thought I cared about how she perceived me and my new life and the woman of my dreams that I now had.It did n't matter.I wo n't sit here and say that she missed out on all this.She did n't miss out, I moved on.
