The Day I Left

Synopsis

After five years with Thornton Burke, I was fed up. While he was overseas on business, I found a random excuse to break up. [Honey, the doctor said I'm tone-deaf, and it might affect our kids' intelligence.] [Oh, right, I forgot you don't even like kids. Forget it. I guess I'm just not good enough for you after all.] I packed my things and moved out of the villa that very night. I was planning to find an apartment, but after checking out dozens, I realized they were even smaller than Thornton's doghouse, and the rent was a whopping two thousand dollars. That was simply daylight robbery. Resigned, I was about to call a cab and head back to the villa. Just then, my best friend, Sharon Newman, sent me a message. [Girl, that bastard Thornton is getting engaged.]
