Monica's POV
We gathered at our favorite spot in the Social Club's brunch room. Security personnel kept a watchful distance, ensuring our privacy while keeping us safe. My friends were eager for all the intimate details of my wedding night, and I happily shared how utterly romantic and attentive my husband had been.
I turned to Natalie with a smile. "What about you, Natalie? How's life with Jasper going?"
"Oh, Monica," Natalie sighed dreamily. "Jasper is absolute perfection! He brings me coffee in bed every morning, plans the most romantic surprises, and treats me like royalty!"
"Jasper really is the ultimate gentleman," Aisha added with approval.
Lily shifted her attention to Michelle. "Michelle, I heard things didn't work out with Bruce?"
"We went out a couple times," Michelle explained, "but I just wasn't feeling it. Nothing happened between us, and eventually he told me he wasn't going to wait around while I made up my mind."
