“You’re cordially invited to the marriage ceremony of Vivienne and Charles.” That was it. As simple as that. After five months of no contact, that was the first and only update I got. I stared at the plain white invite, my vision blurring till I couldn’t make out a word. My mother, Vivienne, who had been married to my father up to five months ago, was getting married… again… My phone rang immediately, and without looking, I picked it. “Darling, have you seen the invite?” It was my mother, her voice cheerfully sang over the phone. It was the first time in over five months I was hearing her voice… “Mother… What does this mean? You’re getting married?” I looked at the card in my hands like it was a figment of my imagination. “Yes, and you are invited… it’s a week-long stay in the Hamptons. Details will be sent to you soon. Just….” She paused, “Can you believe it, darling? I’m getting married to the love of my life.” Love of her life? Was my father never good enough? I sti
