You're Dead to Me
On the day we were supposed to register our marriage, my boyfriend said he was busy and bailed on me again.
When I got home, however, I found his marriage certificate with his assistant on my desk—the registration date was today.
I smiled, placed the certificate on my desk, and decisively ended things with him.
The next moment, his call came through. His tone was impatient as he grumbled, "Penny, what's with the drama? You're an adult; stop playing these games."
Just as I was about to respond, I heard his assistant sobbing on the other end. "Eric, did Penny misunderstand us? You should go home; I'll be fine by myself."
"Don't worry about her," he said soothingly. "She's always pulling this nonsense—it's exhausting. Right now, you're what matters most."
Hearing his reassuring words to her, I hung up and completely gave up on him.
