My high school reunion came around, and after
much pressure from the class president, I decided to go.
As soon as I found a free chair, my classmate, sitting opposite me, asked, “I heard you and Billy were getting married. When’s the date? Will you be inviting us old–timers?”

I replied, “If I mind, would you leave?”
Tiffany’s smile disappeared, and her face

“You…” Billy was about to lash out but
thankfully, our class president stopped him.
