He calls her for the 17th time. The phone rings-rings-rings. She sits by the window, tears roll down her cheeks as she looks outside, a little girl is playing, laughing. She’s laughing. Yesterday, her world was shiny. Today, she severed ties with two bridesmaids, her fiancé, snap, like that. They knew. Every damn one of them knew. He was cheating with one friend, but they covered it up like fresh dirt over a grave. She’s glad she spotted them kissing in another window on Main Street, that evening she shopped for the white dress that would float in the wind.

Wow. What a tragedy and such betrayal. Nice writing though, as always.

Tragic. Better that she found out now and not after binding with that excuse for a committed man in matrimony.

Very sad, Angela, but I agree with the above comments - better to find out now than later. 17/2/2024 03:14:32 am
The vows were broken before they were spoken.

She deserves a better future, with a much better man.

She'll survive, and come out stronger for it. Great story about how important it is to know the truth - and to act on it. Well done, Angela! Comments are closed.
