VANISHING ACT
I raise my head and glare at my reflection. Tears make trails through the foaming skin cleanser.
Tomorrow I’ll walk down the aisle to my faithful Pavel.
I rinse my face and blot it dry.
Time heals all wounds they say.
Pavel’s diamond sparkles next to the pinky ring Enan gave me two years ago. I slip it off and read the engraving. “ILY Forever.”
“Forever didn’t last long, did it, Enan?”
Poof!
Now you see him, now you don’t.
The bastard.
Dropping Enan’s ring down the drain I bleed afresh.
I wish I could hate him, but I don’t.
