The 100th Time She Said Yes
322 Views · Ongoing · Agatha Christie
"Give Paige the tickets. I'll buy you a new bag tomorrow."
That was Caleb's first sentence to me on our five-year anniversary. His black Maybach idled at the curb. Paige stood closely behind him, wiping her tear-stained face. She had just climbed out of his passenger seat; I was just holding the two Nova VIP passes that took a miracle to score.
"She needs a distraction," Caleb added, fully expecting my usual quiet surrender.
I looked at them. No screaming. No tears. I just placed the tickets into his hand, turned on my heel, and left.
Let them enjoy the show. There was no space for me in that crowded arena, just like there was no space left for me in his world.
