The Other "I Do"

Summary

On the day we were supposed to get married, my girlfriend blew me off again, saying she was too busy.

When I got home, there was a marriage certificate waiting for me in the mailbox—hers and her male assistant's. The date filed was today.

I gave a small, bitter smile, set the certificate down on my desk, turned around, and ended things with her.

The next second, my phone rang.

Her annoyed voice came through right away.

"Patrick, what is your problem? Why are you throwing a tantrum? You're a grown man—act like one."
