“Thought you were younger,” the man had the balls to respond with. I raised my eyebrows, positive I definitely wasn’t liking where this was going, but… I could give him the benefit of the doubt. As much as I had been telling myself I was fine, I hadn’t been. Not really. “What? Am I too old?” I tried to joke. He shrugged. Shrugged? Was he for real? The partial smile I had on my face just fell right off. “How old are you?” He was still watching me a little too closely as he said, “Thirty-four.” Thirty-four? Thirty-four and I was too old?
