Countdown to Goodbye
That afternoon, Sally had to process over a dozen files and desperately needed a sugar boost, so I had to go downstairs to buy her some cake.
When I got there, everything was sold out. The owner told me to wait since he was baking a new batch.
I sat at the counter and waited.
There was a tablet in the shop playing the news and TV shows out loud.
While I was texting Sally to hang on a bit, I heard Lawrence's name on the news.
I looked up and saw him being interviewed, with a ring on his finger.
"I've never seen you wear a ring before. Did you just get married?" a reporter asked.
