A New Chapter, A New Wife

I flew back from London, eager to surprise Sarah, my childhood sweetheart and the woman I was set to marry. I drove straight to her house, imagining her joyful expression.

Their voices drifted out:

"He's just an immature nuisance," Mark agreed, "We don't need him disrupting our perfect family."

"God, he can be such a child. Can you imagine if he came back and saw this?" Sarah laughed bitterly.
