I dated Vivian Brooks for eight years, and she rejected every single one of my marriage proposals. Tonight, I asked her again. She flipped out, picked a fight, and stormed out of our downtown Manhattan apartment. Not long after, the doorbell rang. A courier handed me a package. Inside was a large, custom mocking award plaque. The engraved words were blinding: "Thank you, Ethan Carter, for taking care of my wife all these years. Thank you for being her willing secret lover." It was signed: Caleb Brooks, Vivian Brooks's legal husband.
