Love—actually

Of all the times to get dumped, right before the holidays would be pretty low on my list. But that’s what had just happened to me.

“Couldn’t he at least have waited until after the holidays?” I wailed to a friend. Yes, wailed.

Now there would be no fun Christmas surprises, no joint activities, and I’d have to watch my friends—each of whom had someone special to spend the holidays with—enjoy all the things couples do at that time of the year.
