She Cheated The Man Who Made Her Who She Is

Seven years after my divorce from Hallie Walker, I ran into her by chance at a flower shop.

She was buying flowers to celebrate her husband’s promotion, while I had stepped inside to avoid the rain.

After a brief, awkward moment, we exchanged greetings.

Hallie asked kindly how I had been over the years. I answered respectfully that everything was fine.

As we were about to part, she suddenly said, “Byron Stewart, you seem a bit different from before.”

I smiled but stayed quiet. In truth, nothing had changed. I just… didn’t love her anymore.
