On our seventh wedding anniversary, Fred Shelton walked out on me. He left for his sick assistant. Everyone at the party watched in thinly veiled amusement, waiting for me to make a spectacle of myself. A person asked, "Mrs. Shelton, Mr. Shelton has already left. Shall the party go on?" Someone couldn't wait to stir the pot, pressing the question right into my hands. Once, I would have lost control, cried, raged, and chased after Fred for answers at any cost. But I no longer cared because our seven-year arrangement was almost over.
