My mother died when I was 12, and her wedding dress was the one thing I’d saved for my future wedding. So when my dad’s fiancée stole it, wore it herself, and claimed it looked better on her than on my mother, I knew I couldn’t let her get away with it. She had no idea what was coming!
The autumn light slanted through my apartment window, falling across the small jewelry box on my desk.
I folded another sweater into my duffel bag. I was heading home for my father’s wedding to Susan, a woman he got engaged to a few years ago.
She was 10 years younger than him, and we never really got along, but I kept the peace for Dad’s sake.
