They laughed and danced, looking like a perfect couple. Jessica tried to keep up appearances, but her discomfort was evident.
Dad couldn’t hide his frustration either.
His eyes kept darting towards Mom and Tom, and I could see the wheels turning in his head. Before leaving, Mom hugged me tightly. “Thank you for everything, sweetheart.
I’m so proud of you.”
“I’m proud of you too, Mom,” I said, smiling.
“You deserve all the happiness in the world.”
As I watched Mom walk away with Tom, I knew Dad regretted his choices. He realized too late that he had lost the best thing in his life.
I also saw he pushed Jess away when she asked him for a dance, and I laughed. My plan to show Dad that Mom could be happy without him worked perfectly.
Mom and Tom fell in love and are now together.
I couldn’t be happier for her. Do you think Dad deserved a taste of his medicine?
