Chapter 1

On our wedding day, my bridesmaid decided to test Carter with three simple questions before the ceremony.

I thought he'd ace them easily.

I never expected him to get the very first one wrong.

"What's Chloe's shoe size?"

Without a second thought, he blurted out, "Size 6."

"What's her favorite color?"

"Blue."

An awkward silence fell over the bridal suite.

Everyone exchanged nervous glances. He was wrong on both.

Then came the final question:

"What year did Chloe graduate from college?"

Everyone relaxed, thinking there was no way he could mess this up.

After all, we were college sweethearts.

"2013," Carter said confidently. "I made her a custom pair of crystal heels as a graduation gift that year. I'm 100% sure."

My gaze drifted to Hailey, my maid of honor, who was wearing a dusty blue bridesmaid dress and sparkling crystal heels.

She bit her lip, whispering to Carter in a small, tense voice:

"Chloe graduated in 2012. I was the one who graduated in 2013."

In that split second, everything clicked.

The last lingering doubt in my heart vanished.

I let out a cold, quiet laugh, looked down at my phone, and texted my parents:

"Mom, Dad, get the car ready. I'm calling off the wedding."
