The Echoes We Leave Behind

Summary

At a college reunion, Caleb Thorne's ex-girlfriend "accidentally" spilled red wine all over my new dress.

She panicked, apologizing profusely:

"I'm so sorry, I'll pay for it."

"My wife's dress is a vintage collector's item from last year's auction. The hammer price was one million dollars."

Caleb smiled, his reply light and airy.
