After seven years together, my boyfriend had finally agreed to take me to meet his family for Thanksgiving.
When we reached the George Washington Bridge, a downpour started.
He pulled over. “Baby, I think the trunk might not be closed all the way. Can you get out and take a look?”
I didn’t think anything of it. I pushed open the door and ran through the rain to the back of the car.
The moment my hand touched the trunk, Truett locked the doors, hit the gas, and sped away.
The wind howled. I stood on the bridge, shivering.
I pulled out my phone to call him, but Chloe’s Instagram Story popped up first.
[I won. Truett really ditched his boring fiancée on the bridge so I could get a Chanel.]
Someone had commented below: [Truett, you really had the balls to dump Mavis on the GWB the day you were taking her to meet your family? No matter how much she puts up with, she’s finally going to lose it.]
Truett replied instantly.
[Relax. She can’t leave me. I’ll text her in a bit, and she’ll come crawling back.]
[Chloe won tonight. Venmo her the money. She got a flat and she’s scared of thunder, so I’m on my way to get her.]
Chloe was the new intern at his company.
I looked out at the black water of the Hudson, wiping the rain from my face.
So meeting his family was a lie.
Pleasing Chloe was the only thing that mattered.
I took out my phone, gave notice to our apartment management that I was moving out, then deleted every trace of Truett from my phone.Â
