Dumping My Cheating Ex at 200 MPH

When we were dating, Carter always called me the tortoise from *The Tortoise and the Hare* because I was always one step behind everyone else.

He never took me to his friend group's parties. He’d say, "Sloane, you’re not that sharp, and your reactions are so slow. How am I supposed to introduce you? Be good. You don't want people laughing at me, do you?"

Later, when my career took off and I had both fame and fortune, the host asked me to give an acceptance speech.

I stood on the stage, looking down at Carter. I shook my trophy at him.
