She started crying harder. "Dylan, please. It was just a mistake. I got confused by all the spiritual talk and I made bad choices, but I want to marry you. I want to be with you."She did not even notice how her words were starting to contradict themselves."If you want to marry me, why were you planning to keep seeing him after the wedding?"She could not answer that."Pack a bag, Lauren. I need space to think."She packed a small suitcase, crying the whole time and begging me to reconsider. She said she would cut all contact with Phoenix immediately. She said she would do anything to fix this. She said the wedding was in twelve days and everyone was counting on us."What about the money?" she finally said. "My parents spent everything on this wedding. Dad will lose his mind if we cancel now.""That sounds like something you should have thought about before you decided to cheat.""I was not cheating! It was spiritual exploration!""Call it whatever you want. You were having sex with another man while engaged to me. That is a deal-breaker."She left around midnight, still begging me to reconsider. She said she would call me tomorrow after I had had time to cool down.I did not sleep that night. I just sat on my couch looking at the screenshots and trying to figure out how I had been so blind. The signs were all there; I just chose to trust her when she explained them away.The next morning, I got three text messages from Lauren:I hope you slept well and feel better today. I know you are hurt, but we can fix this. I will do whatever it takes. Please do not make any permanent decisions while you are emotional. Think about our future.I screenshotted those, too, but I did not respond.Around noon, she called me. I let it go to voicemail. She called six more times. Finally, I answered."Dylan, thank God. We need to talk.""We already talked yesterday. The wedding's off.""You do not mean that. You are just hurt. I understand you are angry—""I am not angry, Lauren," I cut her off. "I am done."A pause. "What do you mean, 'done'?""I mean I am not marrying someone who cheats on me. It is really that simple."Her voice started to rise with panic. "But what about the money? What about the guests? What about our life together?""You should have considered that before you started sleeping with your life coach.""Stop saying that! It was not just sleeping together!""You are right. You also texted him photos and made plans to keep seeing him after we got married."She started crying again. Honestly, listening to her sobs was starting to give me a headache."Dylan, please. I am begging you. Do not tell my parents about Phoenix. You know how my dad gets about money. He will never forgive me. Just tell them you are getting cold feet or something."
