My ex’s wedding invitation included a +1 and a reminder that no one would date me. I brought Edward anyway. When Max laughed and asked how much I’d paid him, my coworker quietly walked to his car and returned with a large cardboard box I’d never seen. Whatever was inside made the groom stop smiling.
Max’s wedding invitation arrived as a text message.
That was very Max.
“Come to my wedding with Claire and bring our daughters. Oh, and your invitation includes a +1, but we both know you don’t have anyone.”
Max’s wedding invitation arrived as a text message.
I read it twice.
Then I put my phone facedown before my ten-year-old daughter could ask why I was staring at it like I wanted to throw it through a window.
