He Wished I'd Never Been Saved

On my way home from work, I bought some oranges for twenty-two dollars.

I was in the middle of asking the vendor if he could knock off two bucks when my boyfriend Ethan suddenly slapped me across the face.

"God, you're embarrassing. Making a scene over two dollars."

"Looks like Rena was right about you all along. You really did let her mom die just because you were short a dollar on her medication."

"If I'd known what kind of person you were, I would've chosen Rena when the kidnappers gave me a choice. I should've saved her, not you."
