“Oh, sweetheart.” Grandma blinked fast. “Please don’t be upset. It’s your wedding day. I never wanted…”
“You did nothing wrong,” he said. “Nothing. Do you hear me?”
She nodded, tears finally spilling over.
“I’m so sorry for how Ashley treated you.”
Then he took a breath, and I swear I felt it in my own chest.
“I’m sorry I didn’t find out what kind of person Ashley was before I married her. It’s going to be a mess to undo this.”
I nearly fell out of my chair.
Grandma’s face went white with horror. “Daniel, no, don’t say that, dear…”
Across the room, a pair of heels came pounding closer.
I nearly fell out of my chair.
“Undo what?” Ashley demanded.
Daniel stood and turned to face her.
“Our marriage.”
Ashley laughed. It was a small, cracked, disbelieving sound. “You’re joking.”
