The Honeymoon He Took with Her

The ticket scanner came back blank against the guest list, and the staff waved me off to the side. Jasper slapped his forehead and swore. "Damn it, I must have punched in Chloe's information by accident when I bought these VIP tickets." He turned to me, suddenly dead serious. "Well, the good news is she's a fan too. I should just go grab her — no way am I letting these seats go to waste."
I ended up listening to the whole concert from outside the stadium.
Half a month later, I got left behind again, this time at the airport. "I can't believe I pulled the same stunt twice!" Jasper grumbled. "Every ticket on this trip is registered under Chloe's name." He sighed. "What else can I do? I guess I'll just bring her along instead. She's never been out of the country, after all. At least you have."
Chloe showed up at the terminal almost as though she'd been waiting just out of sight. She took his suitcases from him without hesitation, so smoothly it looked like something she'd done a hundred times before.
"Got you, girl," she said to me. "I know this was supposed to be your honeymoon, so I'll keep an eye on your guy. Hell, I'll even teach him how to be the perfect hubby for you."
Jasper and I had been together seven years. For seven years, he'd repeated the exact same slip-up, putting Chloe's name on every ticket and plan that mattered to us.
I'd had enough. It finally hit me that the biggest mistake in all of this was my own. I should have stopped lying to myself a long time ago.
