What If I Meant To?
They called it a scandal. She called it Tuesday.
The diamonds were real, the denials fake.
She wore the dress they hadn’t approved, and the halo they had.
She made all the right moves, and kissed the wrong man.
Then she arrived at the premiere without her husband.
By morning, the headlines had convicted her. Over coffee, she turned the page and couldn’t see why everyone made such a fuss.
So, she walked off the path, stepped into the river, and ruined her beautiful shoes. Everyone wondered if she’d lost her way. She wondered who had drawn the map.
There would be consequences, of course. But she had never been particularly fond of apologies.
