The Three-Day Rule

Summary

After three days of silence from my lawyer boyfriend, I drafted an apology text—just to get him to the courthouse for our wedding.

But the moment I hit send, his childhood sweetheart posted their marriage license online: “After all this time, it’s still you.”

Coworkers gossiped in the comments, waiting for my meltdown. I simply replied: “Invite me to the baby shower. I’ll bring a generous gift.”

The post vanished. He called, voice sharp: “Audrey needed legal help. It’s just paperwork. Must you be so dramatic? Apologize publicly now, and I’ll marry you after she recovers.”
