She Lit a Cigarette for Another Man, I Filed for Divorce

My Father-in-Law’s 60th Birthday.

At the party, I watched as my wife’s male secretary casually took a cigarette from the box in my father-in-law’s hand—like he owned the moment. Before I could say anything, my wife stepped in and lit it for him, her hands deft and familiar.

The secretary took a long drag, closed his eyes, and exhaled with satisfaction.

"Now this is the good stuff," he said, like it was his celebration.

I turned and walked out.

Vanessa Cole chased after me.

“Daniel, don’t be so childish. It was just a cigarette. What’s your problem?”
