I married my school sweethea.rt, but on our first wedding anniversary, I overheard him say, “I’ve been fooling her since school. Tonight I’ll finally do what I planned.”

We got married that fall in a tiny ceremony.

Megan was my maid of honor. Diane sat in the front row and dabbed her eyes like an actress.

Our first anniversary was last Friday.

I want you to remember that date because the night I thought was the happiest of my life became the night every story I’d ever told myself fell apart.

I want you to remember that date.
