and size. With brunette hair, a slightly darker skin tone than Tara and a bright white smile it was easy to see why Frazier was attracted to Ashley. Ashley was Frazier’s third wife.
    “Wow, this is a great house. How long have you been married to Frazier?” Tara asked.
    “Thank you. Frazier and I have recently celebrated our first year anniversary,” Ashley said.
    “Well, congratulations. Did you get a nice present?” Tara asked.
    “Absolutely, Frazier gave me this pair of diamond earrings,” Ashley said as she showed the huge stones to Tara.
    “Those are so nice. I don’t want to be nosey, but how did you meet Frazier?” Tara asked.
    “Well, that’s an interesting story. Frazier and his former wife were in Las Vegas dining at an exclusive restaurant and I was their server. I didn’t know who he was, but figured he was someone important by the way the restaurant manager came out and greeted him. So I took his order and waited on them for the entire meal. When I came back with the receipt and his credit card, he was alone because his wife had gone to use the bathroom. Frazier looked at me and asked for my phone number. I asked him why he wanted it. He said he could do great things for me and thought I had potential, so I gave it to him. I left and passed his wife on my way back to the kitchen. When I went back and picked up his check he had left me a one thousand dollar tip. I was just floored. Frazier called me two days later from his private jet. Three days later he stopped in Las Vegas on his way back from California and I met him for lunch. Frazier said he was interested in me and I reminded him that he was married. He told me that his marriage was a minor consideration, because he was contemplating changes in his personal situation. We started seeing each other and six months later he divorced his wife and went public with me, so now here we are,” Ashley said.
    “Well, my situation with Brandon was very interesting as well,” Tara said.
    “I heard about that. A lot of people know about that. I’ve wanted to meet you,” Ashley said.
    “Really, what all do you know?” Tara said.
    “I know that you were engaged to be married to one of the salesmen in Brandon’s company when you met him and left your fiancé for him,” Ashley said.
    “Oh god, I can’t get past how I got together with him. It just haunts me,” Tara said.
    “I’m not one to judge. I carried on an affair with a married man, and which is worse if you think about it, at least neither you or Brandon were married. A lot of the couples at this party were with someone else when they met their current spouses. These people see what they want and go after it, if it means disposing of their current partner, they pay the price and move on. It will probably happen to me at some point,” Ashley said.
    “So you don’t think you will be with Frazier for good?” Tara said.
    “Tara, I was a waitress serving him and his wife dinner. He hit on me while his wife was in the bathroom because he liked what he saw. I was young, good looking and hungry for a better life. Frazier paid his wife her prenuptial settlement to get a newer model. I know the game,” Ashley said.
    “How long did it take for you to get used to living the way you do now? I mean, this is way different from what I’m used to,” Tara said.
    “I just went with the flow and faked it for a while. I wasn’t used to spending money like have now. The idea of paying more for a blouse than I was paying for rent where I used to live still freaks me out. I’m getting used to it, but my mind is still in struggling waitress mode although I carry around a credit card with no limit on it,” Ashley said.
    “I know, I went into a store and this designer outfit that I loved was calling my name, it was three thousand dollars. I knew I could get it, but I kept thinking about when I would have sold my soul for that kind of money to pay bills when I was short on money. I don’t know how
