“hey, so not to totally be a nosey nancy or anything, but that silver fox in the corner over there has been very boldly checking you out for the last twenty minutes,” april offers coyly, attempting some semblance of subtlety as she nods at nearby voyeur. “you could be their long lost relative and they’ve come to offer you millions —— or they’re building the courage to ask you for a drink. not a bad thursday night either way if you ask me.”
.
Seda glanced in the direction of the pointed nod. She rolled her eyes, before turning fully back to her drink. “not exactly my type,” she said, before tucking the rocks glass between her lips with a disinterested ease. it wasn’t the entire truth. she wouldn’t have taken offense to the attention if it hadn’t been so ongoing. “if he had money or anything worthwhile, he wouldn’t have been waiting twenty minutes to say something.” she finally met the eyes of the woman next to her. “frankly, if you’re not looking for someone to take home, i’d rather you join me so he doesn’t bother me.”

BIO:
Seda grew up in a small home in New Orleans, her parents doing their best to make ends meet for their family of six. Her mom, a hairdresser, taking clients out of their home, and her dad bouncing between jobs all across the city.
The youngest of four siblings, Seda grew up in hand-me-downs and with a less watchful eye than her older siblings
When her grandmother gifted her a camera on her twelfth birthday, she’d practically gained a new appendage. She carried it with her everywhere, taking pictures all over the city and plastered her walls with the developed photos.
High school came and went, her only real care were the photography classes she took, and getting to learn to develop her own photos, but college wasn’t in the cards for her.
After she graduated high school, she took jobs at a one hour photo lab and at a photo studio trying to learn more to make it her career.
She started offering freelance work on her days or nights off, working weddings, or different events that paid decently.
It was at one wedding she was working that she met Bennett. He was handsome, and she couldn’t quite keep her eyes off of him, but when he approached her, she knew that was it. He was charming, sweet, and made her laugh. The two talked on and off the rest of the night, catching each other in passing, and during her break and when she was finally packing up
The two began dating shortly after, though, upon learning more about him, Seda felt less than. He was rich, already working a high level position in his father’s company. He never seemed to mind when they stayed at her tiny studio apartment, or drove around in her crappy 1993 Bronco, waving off her apologies or self-deprecating jokes.
He was quick with gifts, a lack of concern for money that she couldn’t imagine, which she took hesitantly at first, but learned to accept easier as time went on. By the time he asked her to move in with him, it was practically just a formality, and one that she’d accepted without second thought.
Their engagement came a month later, and their wedding a year after that, an event that Seda excitedly planned with her mother, and thinking next to nothing about the pre-nup that she agreed to sign.
The newlywed couple moved to Austin to expand and open a firm in the city, and bought a home, one that Seda immediately took to setting up and planting her roots in with ease.
As they settled in, children remained on the mind, however they struggled to conceive, and down almost all avenues ran into different issues. The couple decided to stop trying to ease their mind of the stress, wanting to move back into a contented peace.
However, they grew distant. Bennett began working longer hours, and Seda threw herself back into photography
Three months before her 38th birthday, Seda discovered that Bennett had been having an affair. Bennett explained that it’d been going on for over a year, and they were, in fact expecting their first child. He had divorce papers drawn up and delivered to her within days.
In an instant, Seda had lost nearly everything, packing what she could take and came back to New Orleans. But, upon arriving, Seda felt the embarrassment creep in, and chose to hole up in the Golden Motel until she was properly ready to face her family and friends. A few days turned into a few weeks, then a few months, and now remains indefinite. Working freelance photography jobs quietly in the city
