I Dumped My Boyfriend After His Childhood Friend Shamed Me

It was my birthday.

After Derek’s childhood friend smashed a cake into my face, covering me from head to toe in frosting, I looked him straight in the eye.

“I want to break up,” I said, barely holding it together.

The hand he had extended to help his precious childhood sweetheart wipe off the whipped cream finally froze in midair.

That was it. A flicker. A pause.

The only reaction I got.

Then Derek glanced at me with disapproval.

"Joanne, do you seriously have to kill the mood right now?" he said, annoyed.
