Fünf Jahre lang waren wir ein Paar, doch mein Freund, ein Anwalt, sagte ganze 52 Mal unsere Hochzeit ab. Beim ersten Mal machte seine Praktikantin, die er betreute, einen Fehler mit einem Formular in der Kanzlei. Daraufhin eilte er sofort zurück und ließ mich den ganzen Tag allein am Strand zurück.
