The Day I Needed Him Most, He Chose Her

The day I discovered that he'd saved Juliana Fox's contact name as "Baby" in his phone, he told me it was just an inside joke between coworkers.

I believed him the first time.

The second time was at our engagement party. Juliana called, slurring that she'd had too much to drink, and he abandoned a room full of guests to go pick her up.

My mother's hands shook with rage. He still had the nerve to tell me, "Don't be childish."

The third time. The fourth.

It wasn't until I slammed the divorce papers down in his face that he looked at me, eyes red, and asked, "Why?"

Why?
