Less than one day. That’s how long it took for her to find me. I was still floating somewhere between joy and disbelief. Still wearing the dress in my head. Still replaying the first dance. And then my phone buzzed. A private message from “Chardonnay.” His ex-wife of two years. Partner for twelve before that….
She said she needed fresh air. Said the walks helped her clear her head. Said she preferred to go alone. I believed her. For weeks. Until one night, she didn’t come back. The Marriage Before The Walks We were married for sixteen years. Forty-three years old. Two kids. A house. A life. We grew apart….
You are not my friend. Four words. That’s all it takes to end a decade of history. But here’s the thing — most of us don’t have the guts to say it out loud. So we drag it out. We send passive-aggressive texts. We wait two hours in a parking lot. We let people walk…
She spent months talking behind my back. Calling me a harasser. Playing the victim. And I just kept my mouth shut and did my job. Then one day, I saw a mistake. A small one. The kind I could have fixed in thirty seconds. But I didn’t. And now her career is over. The Setup…
The last thing I expected was to feel relief about my own parents missing my wedding. But here we are. And honestly? I couldn’t be happier. Good riddance.

The greenroom was quiet. Too quiet. Brandon Divine sat alone on the leather couch, scrolling through his phone for the fifth time in ten minutes. No new messages. No new matches. No new anything.

The greenroom smelled like coffee and Puerto Rican flags. Michelle touched up her lipstick. Jay paced by the window, loosening his tie for the third time. “We got this, baby,” Michelle said. Jay stopped pacing. “You brought ten of them, Michelle. Ten.” “They wanted to support us.” “They wanted to be on TV.” Michelle laughed….
The restaurant was dimly lit. Candles on every table. Soft jazz coming through hidden speakers. Christian adjusted his tie for the fourth time. John checked his phone. No new messages. Both of them had been on blind dates before. But never like this. “Here they come,” Christian whispered. Two women walked toward the table. Perfect…
The living room smelled like popcorn and confidence. Randy pressed record on his phone for the hundredth time that week. His son Bryce stood in the middle of the carpet, wearing tiny sneakers and a smile that could start a revolution. “Okay, buddy,” Randy said. “You remember your lines?” Bryce nodded. “You wanna do it?”…
The greenroom smelled like coffee and cheap cologne. Evangeline checked her phone for the fifth time. AJ sat across from her, scrolling through Instagram, pretending not to notice her nervous energy. They’d been here before. Not this studio. Not this show. But this moment. The moment where two people who used to wake up next…
