The marriage is over\u2026I won\u2019t touch you, not even if you shaped yourself into an hourglass!\u201d David tells Megan she\u2019s fat and then dumps her for his secretary. Eventually, though, fate changes things, and David pays for what he did.<\/p>\n
As Megan set the table with a drink, a chicken roast, and all the treats David loved, the smell of spices cooking filled the air. \u201cGreat!\u201d she said with a sigh.<\/p>\n
\u201cDavid, you\u2019re back!\u201d Megan screamed.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat the hell are you wearing?\u201d This makes you look fat!\u201d David made fun of them.<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause?\u201d Honey, don\u2019t you like this dress? \u201cToday is our fifth wedding anniversary,\u201d Megan said in a whisper, her voice so soft that it was like a plea lost in the wind. \u201cForgot?\u201d<\/p>\n
He snapped his teeth together and said, \u201cOf course not.\u201d<\/p>\n
Megan\u2019s eyes had a spark of hope in them. She thought those were Paris tickets. David knew she wanted to spend Christmas in Paris.<\/p>\n
He told her, \u201cI have something for you.\u201d He took an envelope out of his pocket.<\/p>\n
Tears made her stutter as she moved forward. \u201cI believed these were Paris tickets\u2026\u201dWhat is this?\u201d<\/p>\n
The harsh word \u201cdivorce\u201d stabbed her in the eyes. \u201cTell me it\u2019s a joke\u2026\u201d Megan whispered, her eyes filled with tears.<\/p>\n
There was a huge bark in the room when David laughed. \u201cI don\u2019t have time to play jokes with you.\u201d \u201cBecause I hate you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy?\u201d Megan tried hard to whisper.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy?\u201d David scowled. \u201cLook at yourself in the mirror, and you\u2019ll understand.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease fix this,\u201d she begged, her voice breaking.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m just getting ready to leave today.\u201d \u201cEnough with you,\u201d he said with a frown.<\/p>\n
\u201cDavid, please\u2026\u201dYou and I can go to therapy together. Maybe get things in order. \u201cI love you\u2026\u201d Megan chased David and tried to stop him from putting his clothes and other things he needed in his bag.<\/p>\n
\u201cTeacher?\u201d He laughed. \u201cRemember, you\u2019re sick, not me!\u201d<\/p>\n
David turned away and stomped down the hall with his bag. \u201cI don\u2019t have to explain myself to you.\u201d The marriage is over. \u201cFinally I\u2019m free,\u201d he said as he reached for the door.<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease, David.\u201d Megan begged, \u201cDon\u2019t leave me!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t have time for those stupid games, okay?\u201d A cruel lack of care showed on David\u2019s face as he brushed past Megan. \u201cBesides, someone is waiting for me in the car,\u201d he said, a strange kind of happiness shining in his eyes.<\/p>\n
Megan choked, and through her tears, her voice was hard to hear. \u201cDavid, who is it?\u201d Why do you want to hurt me like this?\u201d<\/p>\n
David made fun of Megan and said, \u201cLook at yourself.\u201d \u201cI used to love how beautiful you were, but now I don\u2019t.\u201d A lot of fat has grown on top of your curvy shape. \u201cOh no, don\u2019t start now\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\nHey, Jessica! David went on. \u201cDo you remember my secretary?\u201d Always look good, fit, and sexy!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHow could you be cheating on me?\u201d Megan stuttered, and tears ran down her pale face in hot trails. \u201cWill Jessica work with your secretary?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWham!\u201d David snapped, and his eyes lit up with disgusting happiness. \u201cOne ticket for me and one for the future I deserve.\u201d Then he opened the door and grabbed his bag.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd don\u2019t forget to record the divorce!\u201d Megan could barely breathe when David slammed the door shut and his voice boomed.<\/p>\n
Megan whispered as she woke up with a start, \u201cThis isn\u2019t the end.\u201d Megan put her wedding pictures and other small items in an iron bucket as the day went on. She soaked them in gasoline and set them on fire with a hand that was shaking.<\/p>\n
Suddenly, she was startled by a hard knock. Veronica, her best friend, called. She growled, \u201cWhat\u2019s wrong with you, Meg?\u201d \u201cAll week I\u2019ve been calling you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Megan choked and said, \u201cHe\u2019s gone.\u201d The words came out like broken glass. \u201cLeft me for someone else.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDavid?\u201d \u201cThat\u2019s not a surprise, Meg,\u201d Veronica replied. \u201cWhat a jerk!\u201d \u201cDid I not warn you?\u201d<\/p>\n
Megan said, \u201cYou might be right.\u201d \u201cHow do I move on?\u201d<\/p>\n
Veronica spoke up, sounding worried, \u201cHoney,You look awful. You need to see a doctor. Help you out. Do not think about that cheater.<\/p>\n
\u201cVeronica, it\u2019s not that simple.\u201d Megan said, \u201cI loved him,\u201d as she put her head on Veronica\u2019s shoulder. \u201cNow what?\u201d<\/p>\n
Veronica smiled and said, \u201cYou pick up the pieces, sweetheart. And find happiness. The kind that doesn\u2019t depend on other people being happy for you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Megan, who was very sad, asked, \u201cHow am I going to do that?\u201d<\/p>\n
With a sly grin on her face, Veronica grabbed Megan\u2019s phone. \u201cGirl, it\u2019s time you stopped crying over the Titanic and got on a new ship!\u201d As quickly as she could, she downloaded a dating app and made a description that made Megan gasp.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou deserve to be happy\u2026\u201d\u201dDon\u2019t whine about some douchebag who dumped you,\u201d Veronica said with a wink as she put the phone in Megan\u2019s hand.<\/p>\n
That night, Megan clicked on the app while lying on the couch, her heart skip a beat.<\/p>\n
\u201cHi, you look beautiful!\u201d Megan was shocked when a message appeared out of the blue. After getting out of the shower, she only had a towel over her body and patches under her eyes.<\/p>\n
Megan threw her phone onto the couch and quickly closed the app with a swipe.<\/p>\n
\u201cDid I make you run away?\u201d As soon as Megan\u2019s face showed up on the screen, a stranger who was still waiting for her asked in a low voice.<\/p>\n
She said, \u201cIt\u2019s\u2026okay.\u201d \u201cThis is so new to me.\u201d<\/p>\n
He laughed and said, \u201cNeither am I.\u201d \u201cBut hey, who knows? Maybe we can both get used to it.\u201d<\/p>\n
The person on the other end said his name was Robert. He held out his hand and said, \u201cCall me Rob.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMegan,\u201d she answered. \u201cMy friends call me Meg!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHi Meg! It\u2019s nice to meet you!\u201d Robert went on, and Megan felt like she was floating in the air in a dream world where flowers and dandelions were as big as elephants. He also said, \u201cYou have such a beautiful smile.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is my first time here\u2026I clicked a button by chance. My live stream starts right away!\u201d Megan laughed, making her cheeks red with shame.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy don\u2019 I make it up to you?\u201d He asked with bright eyes. \u201cWhat\u2019s for dinner tonight?\u201d<\/p>\n
Megan breathed \u201cYes,\u201d and her heart skipped a beat.<\/p>\n
Robert smiled bigger and then winked. \u201cThen I\u2019ll see you at La Caf\u00e9 Bean at eight.\u201d<\/p>\n
Megan stood in front of her closet after a hot shower, smelling like English roses and shea butter oil. With just a little mascara, blush, and her favorite sweet perfume, along with very little jewelry, she let her natural beauty shine through.<\/p>\n
Tonight, she was ready to meet the man on the other side of the screen and see if the dating app on her phone could paint a pretty picture of a good future.<\/p>\n
Megan stopped reaching for the doorknob just as she did. When David walked in, all of her happiness and excitement went away like mist.<\/p>\n
\u201cMoving day, sweetheart,\u201d he hissed, adding a mean edge to his voice. A smile formed on his lips as he looked at her. \u201cHeading somewhere tonight?\u201d he asked in a low voice.<\/p>\n
Megan stuttered, \u201cJust\u2026out,\u201d as she clung to her purse uncomfortably.<\/p>\n
\u201cDid you sign the papers yet?\u201d He barked, and his eyes got narrow.<\/p>\n
Megan choked out, \u201cIt\u2019s in the other pocket.\u201d Her voice was shaking.<\/p>\n
Megan\u2019s heart beat fast when her phone rang. It was from Robert, asking if she would like him to pick her up. \u201cAre you done?\u201d She looked at David.<\/p>\n
\u201cAre we ready to move on now?\u201d His eyes got smaller. \u201cDo you really think I wouldn\u2019t notice this\u2026 sudden makeover?\u201d<\/p>\n
As David jumped forward, the floor seemed to tilt under her. He growled, \u201cGet this straight!\u201d \u201cThey\u2019ll leave no matter who you find.\u201d \u201cNo amount of makeup can hide the fact that you\u2019re dull and ugly.\u201d<\/p>\n
She whispered, \u201cYou\u2019re wrong.\u201d Her voice was shaking but firm. \u201cI\u2019m broken, but I\u2019m not ugly.\u201d<\/p>\n
David didn\u2019t like Megan\u2019s sudden bravado. His hand was rough, and he grabbed her diamond necklace. The chain snapped against her skin.<\/p>\n
Megan said in a shocked whisper, \u201cThat was my wedding present.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThink about renting it. Like how we\u2019re married. \u201cPaid for, used, and thrown away!\u201d he laughed.<\/p>\n
David gave her one last, intense look, then grabbed his bag and slammed the door shut.<\/p>\n
Megan stumbled towards her phone while her tears made it hard for her to see. The date she was so looking forward to now seemed like a cruel joke. The only thing worse was being stuck in her tears. After getting up, she went outside into the moonlight and waved at a cab that was coming up behind her.<\/p>\n
Not long after that, she was in La Caf\u00e9 Bean. The happiness in her eyes went away when she got to the table, though. It wasn\u2019t full.<\/p>\n
As she walked up to the waiter, her voice was barely above a whisper because she was so scared. \u201cHave you seen my date?\u201d Rob? \u201cHe was sitting there.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe just left, miss.\u201d The waiter\u2019s face showed that he was confused.<\/p>\n
A person came out from behind her just as she was fighting the storm of feelings inside her. With an embarrassed grin, Robert held out a bunch of lilies.<\/p>\n
\u201cMegan, I\u2019m so sorry I made you look bad on the livestream,\u201d he said in a low voice. \u201cBut seeing how natural you are\u2026I fell in love with you the moment I saw you. I\u2019m sorry, I had to go get these for you.<\/p>\n
She was about to speak when she let out a sneeze that broke the moment.<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you!\u201d Robert laughed.<\/p>\n
Megan sneezed some more, sending pollen all over the table. Rob\u2019s brow wrinkled in worry. \u201cHey, you could have told me you\u2019re bad for flowers.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s okay.\u201d \u201cThat was such a nice thing to do,\u201d Megan replied with a warm smile.<\/p>\n
\u201cTell me about yourself.\u201d \u201cWhat do you do for a living?\u201d Megan pushed, and her voice got stronger.<\/p>\n
Robert smiled and said, \u201cI\u2019m a doctor.\u201d \u201cAs a doctor, I can tell you that those lilies make you sick.\u201d<\/p>\n
He told a waiter, \u201cPlease take these beauties away.\u201d<\/p>\n
An honest, out-of-the-blue laugh came up in her chest.<\/p>\n
Rob\u2019s eyes got wrinkled around the edges. \u201cWhat makes you laugh?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n
Megan happily said, \u201cIt\u2019s a long story.\u201d \u201cI guess I should have gone to the doctor after all!\u201d<\/p>\n
After a short time, her phone rang. There was a GIF on the screen that looked like a bunch of bright red roses. \u201cCouldn\u2019t leave you without some flowers,\u201d Robert said with a laugh.<\/p>\n
He said in a whisper, \u201cTell me everything about you.\u201d \u201cYour wildest dreams, fears, and stories.\u201d Everything.<\/p>\n
Megan took a weak breath. In her speech, she talked about David, their dark marriage, dashed dreams, and a hurt heart. She told him that she had never believed in true love before she met Robert.<\/p>\n
After the lovely evening was over, Megan lay in bed and looked at a picture of Rob on her phone. She had no idea that this kind of happiness existed.<\/p>\n
A few months went by.<\/p>\n
After a rough split, Megan found herself in a fancy restaurant with lots of clattering silverware. She was deep in her phone call when she heard a voice she knew.<\/p>\n
\u201cMegan!\u201d<\/p>\n
Megan turned around and saw David. It was a strange sight to see after months of being away from him because of the split.<\/p>\n
She forced a smile and said, \u201cHi, David.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMegan.\u201d \u201cYou look great!\u201d He gave a timid smile.<\/p>\n
Megan responded with a tight voice, \u201cI\u2019m fine.\u201d \u201cAnd you?\u201d<\/p>\n
David\u2019s smile faded as he said, \u201cJessica and I are splitting up.\u201d<\/p>\n
Megan said, \u201cI\u2019m sorry,\u201d but the words were empty and sad.<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t be.\u201d I earned this. \u201cLeaving you\u2026it was the worst mistake of my life,\u201d David said to her in a low voice.<\/p>\n
Megan didn\u2019t say anything because she didn\u2019t know how to get around in this new place.<\/p>\n
David begged Megan, \u201cPlease,\u201d as he waited for her answer. \u201cI\u2019ll do anything to make you pleased.\u201d Please give me one more chance.<\/p>\n
But before Megan could answer, a man\u2019s voice broke the silence. \u201cExcuse me, could I assist you?\u201d<\/p>\n
David\u2019s eyes got really big with shock, and the air was filled with tension and sadness that David hadn\u2019t expected.<\/p>\n
\u201cSorry, who are you?\u201d He spit.<\/p>\n
Welcome, Rob! I\u2019m Megan\u2019s fianc\u00e9. Robert answered.<\/p>\n
David was hit hard by the words. Megan put her hand on Robert\u2019s arm and her face turned red. As it turns out, David, Rob and I are getting married soon!<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you ready, sweetheart?\u201d Robert looked at Megan with sparkling eyes.<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay, honey, let\u2019s go.\u201d David, see you!\u201d Megan smiled and got up from her seat.<\/p>\n
Megan put her hand on Robert\u2019s and walked away, leaving David alone with the ghosts of his past. His happiness was like sand in his fingers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
