Occasionally, when he said he was working overtime, he was meeting up with her instead.
He never liked or commented on any of my social media posts. Whenever I asked him to, he would call me childish.
Yet, he was the first to like any of Sunny’s posts.
I thought I had a lifetime to wait. Once we got married, he would remember me eventually, as long as I waited patiently for him.
All I received in return for my patience was a cold shoulder and his increasing impatience.
The day we registered our marriage, he went camping and moon-watching with Sunny.
Whenever she called him, he would rush to her side no matter how busy he was.
When my appendicitis flared up, when I was in so much pain I asked him in a cold sweat to send me to the hospital, he said I was weak-willed and pathetic.
When Sunny accidentally cut her hand while cooking, however, he would take her straight to the emergency room.
Sunny Waters was his most precious jewel. I knew I was no match for her, but I did not know my grandmother’s life meant less to him than her pet dog.
Julian was still going on over the phone. “Sunny said her dog’s still spooked, so I’m taking the two of them on a trip. We can talk once I get back.”
Evie could not stand it anymore. She grabbed my phone and roared at Julian, “Julian Long, Molly’s grandma died! If you still have a heart, come back right now to see her one last time!”
