I had to end this.

Inside, their fervent kiss echoed, each sound a chilling hammer blow to my heart.

"Mom," I choked out, biting my lip to stifle the tremor in my voice, "Antonio cheated on me. I'm not marrying him."

My mother's voice was bright with something that sounded suspiciously like relief. "I'll book your ticket right away. You know I've always wanted you close."
