“You’re right, Janet,” I said quietly. “The dress doesn’t need to be replaced.”
I slipped my engagement ring off my finger and placed it on the coffee table.
“Because there won’t be a wedding. I deserve better than a man who won’t stand up for me, and better than a mother-in-law who has no respect for boundaries.”
The silence that followed was deafening. Janet’s mouth opened and closed like a fish out of water.
Mark started to speak, but I walked to the door and held it open.
“Please leave. Both of you.”
As I watched them go, I felt lighter than I had in months.
