“I’m calling off the engagement.”
The shock had some of the guests crying, especially those who’d believed Stephanie and thought we were a “forever after” type of couple.
Stephanie made a sound I hadn’t heard before.
Stephanie shook her head, tears running now. “Nick, please—”
I cut in, calmly.
“You can keep the engagement ring. It seems you and your man really need the cash.”
Some people shifted uncomfortably.
I looked around the room.
“Enjoy the food and drinks, everyone. I have some packing to do.”
No one laughed or clapped.
