After five years of marriage, James Carter had stood me up for his childhood sweetheart, Sherry Summers, ninety-nine times. After this latest one, I found two plane tickets to Francia in his office. He said indifferently, "I was going to surprise you for our anniversary, but since you've already seen them, I'll meet you at the airport." I packed early and arrived at the airport, waiting from morning until late at night, but James never showed up. Then I saw a post from Sherry on her social media: [It's my birthday today. Someone couldn't take me to Francia, but since he took me to the amusement park, I'll let it slide. If it had happened in the past, I would have called James, crying and demanding answers. But this time, I was too tired to do that.
