Amy, a woman in her early 50s, anticipated a Saturday spent with her husband of six years, Mark. However, he kissed her on the forehead, claiming he needed to work at the office, promising to bring home some delicious Indian food if possible. Little did Amy know that this was just a cover story.
Mark and Amy had a history that dated back many years before their marriage. Mark, known for his flirtatious nature, had finally settled down with Amy. They appeared to have a strong relationship, or so Amy believed. Despite her desire to spend the day with him, Amy decided to indulge in some alone time with a good book and a cup of tea. A message interrupted her quiet time; it was from Tom, her husband’s best friend and someone she considered family. Intrigued, she decided to listen to the voicemail. Tom’s message revealed, “Hi, I’m running a little late for our double date. I’ll be there at around 2 PM, okay? It’s Coachella, right?” Amy, taken aback, didn’t recall Mark mentioning any double date. Initially dismissing it as a misunderstanding, something urged her to investigate further. Amy discovered Coachella, an outdoor restaurant with a festival theme. Choosing a secluded table for a clear view, she anxiously waited. Her heart sank as Mark entered with a stunning woman, oblivious to Amy’s presence. The pain was overwhelming, prompting Amy to take action.
Summoning the waiter, Amy ordered the best champagne for Mark’s table. Sensing tension, the waiter complied. Amy snapped a photo, posting it on Facebook, tagging Mark. As his phone buzzed, Mark’s face turned pale. Amy called the waiter again, ordering another champagne and leaving a note saying, “To a memorable double date and our divorce, cheers!” With grace and determination, she left the restaurant and went home.
Returning hours later, Mark found his things packed. Attempting to explain, he claimed it was just for fun, but Amy, rejecting his lies, decided it was time for a divorce. Mark stayed at Tom’s place, and Amy knew she had to move on.
