«I prepared it beforehand. In case he tried to make me look like some crazy woman who had invented the story about your separation.»
At that moment, my sister appeared from the living room and asked why we were taking so long.
Andrew suddenly straightened up.
«Everything’s fine. We’re just sorting out a small family matter.»
Those words seemed to push Marina toward a final decision.
She walked into the living room.
My husband tried to stop her, but I stepped between them.
Marina waited until the music stopped.
«I’m sorry to ruin your celebration,» she began. «I never intended to cause a scene. But Andrew has been lying to two women, and today he tried to make us both play roles in his imaginary happy family.»
