He was approaching thirty and still unmarried, but he didn’t believe it was due to any fault of his own. Corrie
remained his nominal girlfriend; without that arrangement, he would have surely dated someone else. After
taking a few sips of his wine, Brook regretted engaging in conversation with Jayden, who was solely focused on
retrieving Elyse’s phone and showed no interest in chatting further.
