Thanks for Playing, I'm Quitting This Game
"Mom, I'm not getting married. Please don't blame me."
My phone vibrated again. This time, it was Hunter.
I stared at the screen for a long time before answering. It was noisy on the other end. It sounded as though the wedding venue had descended into chaos.
Yet, Hunter's voice was low and trembling as he spoke. "Natalie, where are you?"
I didn't answer, and he grew anxious.
He blurted, "I've canceled the wedding, and I had them take down the photos. I'm looking for the earrings too. Come back, and we'll do it all over again."
