My fiancé kicked me out of the car at a highway gas station and left me there, barefoot and with a dead cell phone, to “teach me to respect him”… but that same night I returned to my parents’ house, accepted the man I had rejected because of him, and decided to turn our wedding date into the day someone else would put a ring on my finger.
