Just like you ‘weren’t’ cheating on Helena, right?”
I bit back a grin. Karma is a beautiful thing.
Michael let out a frustrated groan as the gas station clerk handed his useless card back. “Unbelievable.”
“Yeah,” Anna snapped, shifting the baby in her arms.
“It is unbelievable. You swore things were going to get better!”
“Oh, and you’re just so perfect?” He scoffed. “Maybe if you hadn’t maxed out every damn credit card—”
“Are you kidding me?” she hissed.
“I gave up everything for you!”
I watched from the shadows of my car, barely containing my laughter.
Horns honked as their stalled-out junker blocked the pump. A couple of impatient drivers finally stepped out, rolling their eyes.
“Need a push, man?” one guy asked.
Michael clenched his jaw. “Yeah.
Whatever.”
The men shoved the rusted heap to the side, leaving Anna standing there, red-faced and exhausted, jiggling a screaming baby on her hip.
Michael kicked the tire. “This is your fault, you know.”
Anna let out a bitter laugh. “My fault?” She turned to him, eyes blazing.
“You want to know the truth, Michael?”
He crossed his arms. “Oh, this should be good.”
She let out a humorless chuckle. “I think Helena got the better end of the deal.”
And with that, I put my car in drive and went home to my real happiness.
