For Happiness

Summary

We had been together for three years.

I noticed early on that all of his social media handles were set to April.

I thought he simply loved the gentle, romantic arrival of spring, so I never pried.

Until our wedding day, when a gorgeous gift arrived from his ex. The name signed on the card in elegant cursive was Avril.

In that single, devastating second, the truth hit me. He did not love the month of April. He loved Avril.

My heart plummeted into a cold, dark abyss.
