A New Life Chapter Four: Moving On
Things start to move forward for Alison, and she goes on her first date.
I had to say the single life is starting to feel good. No more thinking of what someone else wanted or what they felt or needed. It was just me. If I wanted to go somewhere, I went. If I wanted something, I got it. It was complete freedom to do what I wanted when I wanted to do it.

I couldn’t. I thought I wouldn’t like an adult-themed party with just women, but it was fun to let loose.
“I bet you enjoyed the toys just as much,” Sheila said without batting an eye.
“Sheila!” As many people were around our table, I said we were at our favorite café downtown, which was always crowded.
“Tell me I am wrong,” Sheila laughed.
