I hope, though, that by now you've come to see that you dodged a bullet. You've been married a long time and have children and grandchildren who provide the kind of joy possible in a long-term satisfying life. What are the chances that would have happened with two women? So the wrong one exited, leaving space for The Right One. Three cheers for Susie, who, by giving you pain early on, also made long-term joy possible. Oh! Plus she made it possible for you to write this excellent True Story Flash that could win a FS contest for you! (Remember when we talked about "always choose joy?" Here you go!!)

It is funny, but years later she called me and said she made a mistake. In fact, I did write about that phone call. I told it was too late that I found someone who made me happy. Thanks for the comments, but I don't think I will cheer Susie. xoxoxx

Fair enough. Hopefully, she's gotten fatten and wart-y!! I'm proud of you for not letting her back into the fold after she'd sewn her wild oats and realized how stupid she'd been.

Thanks, your respect means a lot.

"I had no words to express my feeling.
Devastated" Well, you did manage to find two there--first, shocked, and now devastated. May I throw in 'aghast'? (bewildered?)
"I had planned to take her..." Why, you ravishing dandy, you.
"our favorite Italian restaurant" I've noticed no one ever says their favorite Zimbabwean restaurant. They do have restaurants there, you know. Good ones? Mmm...subjective call.
"I cried in my car for hours." So sad...as you could have written at least five stories/poems in that time.
But seriously, that is, indeed, a nerve shattering non-fiction incident to have befallen anyone. Well narrated. Good luck in the contest.

I like the thought of ravishing, but it was not to be on that night. I think I would try Nigerian, at least I can spell the country. Yeah, I know, but I didn't have a notebook or pencil in the car. Thanks for the entertaining feedback. Appreciated.

One thing: "A petite blonde with blue eyes and little freckles across the bridge of her nose" isn't a complete sentence.
Other than that, I enjoyed your story. You told it well, though it was upsetting. I am sorry it was true. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.
