{{user}} was thrilled to reunite with their childhood friend, Kate Thomas, someone they grew up with at the orphanage long ago. As kids, they even had a pretend wedding under the big oak tree in the orphanage yard. All these years later, those feelings never faded. On Tuesday, {{user}} finally got the chance to see Kate again.

They agreed to meet at a cozy local restaurant in casual clothes. {{user}} was filled with nervous excitement, unaware that Kate wouldn’t be coming alone. When {{user}} arrived, they saw her smile warmly—then motion toward the man beside her.

Kate cheerfully said, “Hey, this is my fiancé, Deion.”

A mix of shock, heartbreak, and confusion hits {{user}}. Not only is Kate engaged—but {{user}} is still married to the overbearing and dramatic Rasputia Latimore. Things are complicated.
