My finger traced the edge of the white envelope. It was laced with a pretty silver floral pattern.
I'm too afraid to open it, my hands are trembling. Had he really sent me this? I told him that night I wasn't attending. But... maybe. Maybe I can, maybe I will. Perhaps it's the closure I need.

I flipped it over, scanning the wording that read, "Ray & Madelyn."
Madelyn, what a pretty name. I'm sure she's just as beautiful, inside and out.

I couldn't wait any longer. I swiftly ripped the clean paper open, pulling the card out.

.ೃ*:Dear, Y/n L/n,

Together
with their families,

invite you to celebrate their wedding
AUG | 26 | 2021
4 o'clock in the evening

With love, Ray Sheathes and
soon-to-be Madelyn Sheathes.ೃ*:

I instantly slammed it down onto the coffee table. "With love" my ass.

I clasped my hands to my mouth and inhaled deeply. What was I thinking? Of course, I couldn't attend their wedding. It'll send me into a deep dark depression that I'll be stuck in my entire life.
          When everyone else is old and happily married, I'll be throwing sticks at kids from my front porch as I care for my 16 cats.
...maybe that's too far, I think I'll be fine.
