“I can sell the stock to Brenda at market
price. See if she wants it.”
Mark smiled.
“Really?”
I nodded.
Mark grabbed my face and kissed me.
“You’re so cute, you still love me.”
“I should tell her that.”
He said it without thinking.
I acted like I didn’t hear it and wiped my face.
“Hurry, before I change my mind.”
Mark nodded, grabbed the keys, and left.
He was humming.

After thirty minutes I got a text saying that
Brenda wanted the stock.
I wasn’t shocked.
The company is doing better now.

The company is doing better now.
Even if she doesn’t have money, Mark will
help her.
She’s not going to say no to free stock.
Mark didn’t come home, so I don’t know if
they were celebrating.
In the middle of the night, I got a call from
Mark.
I answered it.
I heard Mark breathing, and then Brenda
started laughing.
“Mark, you don’t like Sarah anymore. Why do
you want to marry her?”
Mark said, “We’ve been together for ten
years, and she gave me the stock. It’s not
right to break up.”
“I don’t want to talk about her right now.”
He hung up.
I knew he didn’t know that the call happened.

I knew ne aian t know that the cali nappened.
Brenda did it to show off.
This has happened before.
Telling Mark wouldn’t do anything.
I went back to sleep.
I kept packing my bags.
Mark came home around evening.
“Sarah, I had to do something and couldn’t
get to the courthouse. It’s not your fault.” “Are you mad?”
He had scratch marks.
I shook my head.
I knew that was going to happen.
“That’s good. I got the stock contract.”
Mark handed me the contract.
He was scared that I was going to change my
mind.
I signed it and made sure everything was
right.

He got a lawyer to move the stocks.
The stocks went to Brenda and the money
went to me.
Mark was happy and even looked at me
kindly.
“You look a little tired.”
“I wanted to get the marriage license
tomorrow, but I can do it today. Does that make you happy?”
I pushed his hand away and went to get my bags.
Mark didn’t know what was going on.
“What are you doing? Did you pack for the
honeymoon?”
“Sarah, I can’t go on the honeymoon right
now. I’m too busy.”
“It’s not a honeymoon.”
I said.
“I’m moving out.”
“I’m moving out.”
“Mark, we’re done.”
