You won’t believe what I found out. I bumped into… Do you remember Claire Whitacre? Claire the mare? We did the small talk. Then she had to stick the knife in.
“Y’know Jack got married two weeks ago?”
She said it with condescending sorrow. Watched my reaction like she’d paid for it.
She made me give her my e-mail so we could “keep in touch”. She’d sent me photos by the time I got home. Jack and his new wife. I had to look. How could I not? Claire ended the e-mail with “I hope you don’t do anything silly.”
