Jess had been feeling restless all day. Everywhere she looked, she saw the scandal about her affair with the married football coach spreading like wildfire. She knew that sooner or later, it would come to a head and wanted to be with someone she loved, away from all the drama.
Her best friend, Sarah, was out of town, so she decided to call up her ex, Mike. They'd had their issues in the past, but they still cared about each other. She figured he might be a good distraction.
