Of Fractured Vows and Broken Hearts

Summary

My marriage certificate with Shane Galingston was lost again.

By the time we went to replace it for the ninth time, his childhood sweetheart deliberately raised her voice as she said, "Lily has been divorced eight times and has had nine abortions. She also has AIDS and syphilis… practically every vice in the book. Did you know all that?"

With a loud crash, a newlywed couple sitting nearby was so startled that they fell to the floor, groaning in pain.

In an instant, contemptuous and disgusted gazes poured in from all directions, pinning me in place.
