Chapter 21: Radio Silence

Sean just vanishes. He just drops off the face of the planet. After their wild, drunken one-night-stand, he’s just. Gone.

So Beth does exactly what she told Pam she’d do: She finds someone else.

Blake is… young. Very young. Legal, of course— she’s not a monster— but a good four years younger than her. Barely able to drink. But god, does the guy have stamina. He’s thick in a body builder way, bulky, strong. His scent is… pleasant enough, even through her suppressants, and his blockers. The sex is nice, if somewhat mediocre . He even respects her boundaries, like a gentleman.

She sees him exactly three times, and then she never calls him again. It’s just not the same. It’s not quite… enough. Mortifying as it is… she misses Sean.
