I wanted to surprise my girlfriend while she thought I was out of town. Luckily, she gave me a copy of her keys. I prepared steaks, candles, and scattered rose petals around her apartment. When I heard the door open, I ran to greet her, but froze when I saw her walk in with another man.
“I thought you weren’t coming back until tomorrow!” she said, looking panicked. The man extended his hand and said, “Nice to meet you, I’m her husband.” I stood there in silence. She quickly explained they were technically still married, but she had told me they’d been divorced. I left without saying another word.
