Now I'm Talking
From the Book Love and Other Sports
Millie is still reeling from her recent divorce — the rejection, the self‑doubt, the hollow feeling of wondering whether she’s desirable, lovable, or even seen anymore. With her confidence shaken and her sense of identity unsettled, she leans on her lifelong friend Joyce as she tries to navigate the emotional fallout.
When the two women attend a book signing for romance author Jason Pollard, Millie expects nothing more than a distraction. But as they wait in line, Millie finds herself unexpectedly drawn into a conversation — one that gently challenges the way she’s been seeing herself since the divorce. Jason’s quiet interest catches her off guard, not because he’s a hero from one of his novels, but because he sees her in a way she hasn’t seen herself in a long time.
A tender, hopeful story about rediscovering confidence, rebuilding self‑worth, and realizing that life doesn’t end when a marriage does — sometimes it’s just beginning.
