Jared shot to his feet. He strode towards them rapidly and asked in disbelief,
“Ain't that the truth? Tomboy went AWOL three years ago, and then you ghosted
us too. Kasie and I were left alone here. We wondered if you ran off with
Tomboy.”
Right on cue, Kasie chimed in, “Inside voice, dude. What the hell... Oh my God!
Kristina?”
Kasie had a similar reaction to Jared. Finally, the five old friends were reunited. It
felt like a lifetime had passed since they were all together Last. The girls kept
hugging each other, and being happy that they finally saw each other face to
face. They didn't sit down at the table until the two men persuaded them to. Not
only that, they didn’t care how Loud they were being, either.
During dinner, Kasie discreetly shifted her glance between Dixon and
Kristina. She didn’t want to re-open old wounds, but she had to know.

She whispered, “You're married now, right? When did that happen? What does
your husband do? And more importantly, why weren't we at your wedding? I sent
you chat requests on WeChat, but you didn’t answer back. I was hoping you'd
come to mine.”
Kristina looked at the beer in her glass.
“I'm sorry. I dumped that account a long time ago. My husband got transferred to
Singapore. He just got back this year. He's thirteen years older than me.”
“Thirteen years older...” the other friends all exclaimed in their mind.
Kristina didn’t want to hide anything from her old friends. She continued to fill
them in on what happened since they last saw each other.
“My mom wanted us to marry right after my graduation. I said no, but my dad
needed money. Surgery is expensive...” She paused, recalling everything back
then. Then she went on in a calm tone, “Of course, my mom wanted me to marry
him because he’s rich. My parents wouldn't stop hounding me, so eventually we
tied the knot. But he’s a really good guy. He treats me Like a queen, so we're just
like any other married couple.” There was a hint of self-mockery and
helplessness in her tone.
Maybe she was mocking herself, marrying a man 13 years her senior, and
marrying for money.
When everyone quieted down, Kristina raised her head to look at Dixon, sitting
opposite her.
“I'm sorry I hurt you. But I'm living the dream.
I married a rich man...
The other three held their breath. This was the first time they heard them talk
about why they broke up. And Kristina said it in such a calm tone. So the real
reason was money. Dixon was too poor for Kristina.
“Kristina, I think you screwed up...” Debbie couldn't help but blurt it out.
Dixon smiled. He shook his head and said, “Tomboy, don’t blame her. I was poor
back then. I didn’t know where my next meal was coming from.”
Of course they knew how poor Dixon used to be. He was born in a poor village
out in the boonies. His parents had relied on loans from the villagers so he could
go to college.
