I Helped My Boyfriend Marry His Childhood Sweetheart

After graduating, I quietly applied for a position at the City Hall in his city, intending to surprise Charles Laurier and finally put an end to the miles that had stretched between us.

What I hadn’t foreseen was that on my very first day at work, fate would deal me a cruel hand. He walked in, arm-in-arm with his childhood sweetheart, Elsie Garcia, ready to register for their marriage certificate.

I didn’t lash out or crumble. Instead, I composed myself, stamped their certificate with steady hands and offered my blessings with a calm smile.

“Best wishes for a lifetime of happiness.”
