Only when we were out of immediate earshot did I hiss, "How do you know Adam and his bride?"

"Her name is Elise," he said quietly. "We were together for four years and engaged for eight months. Then she started pulling away. She would go on work trips over the weekend, say she was busy, and hide things from me."

I nodded because that was the same behavior change I saw in Adam when he was cheating on me.

"I later found out she'd been sleeping with a married man after finding their messages on her laptop. She was not even sorry," Adrian sighed.

I recalled the feeling of finding out, and how painful it was for Adam not to choose me.

Adrian continued, "She bragged that the man was leaving an unhappy marriage and that once the divorce was final, they would get married. I ended things and moved out. I never knew the man's name."

He nodded. "When I walked in. I was surprised to see Elise. After our breakup, I have never bothered finding out what she is up to and whether they moved on with each other or not. So, I didn't know they were the bride and groom, let alone that she was getting married."

"Adm clearly knew who you were. He was shocked to see you here."

"I saw the look on his face and knew that I had to accomplish what we came to do here. This has turned out to be not just your revenge but mine as well."

I let out one short, disbelieving laugh.

"So we're both here as revenge dates against the same affair."

"Wow," I said.

Adrian opened the car door for me. "This was an efficient casting."

I actually smiled as I got in.

It was almost impressive how quickly Adam and Elise's perfect day cracked open.

Adrian murmured as we drove away, "This is better than therapy."

I agreed, because for the first time since my marriage ended, I had watched Adam create his own ruin without my help.
