Thanksgiving Divorce
Mindy Horton and I got married on Thanksgiving.
Coincidentally, her assistant went abroad to further his studies that day. I did not pay much attention to it until the eve of another Thanksgiving three years later.
I was browsing TikTok and came across Mindy, who was in a street interview about couples.
The reporter stopped her and asked, "Excuse me. Could I have a second of your time? Who would you like to spend today with?"
Mindy paused for a moment. She struggled to answer after a long while, "With my lover."
"Call him now. He should know how you feel!"
I smiled as I sat up, ready to pick up Mindy's call.
However, when I looked up, I saw Mindy sobbing to another man on the screen. "I know you've returned, and I still can't forget you after all these years. Do you know how much I regret not marrying you and marrying another man? We missed our chance with each other three years ago. Let's spend Thanksgiving together this year!"
I sat in bed all night and booked a flight out of the country the next morning.
"When are you leaving?" my assistant asked.
I replied, "On Thanksgiving."
