“So what? He’s probably rushing off to Natalie now!” Gracia complained irritably.

The forgotten birthday gift seemed like a minor oversight compared to the evening’s debacle.

What was there to be happy about? Even a diamond worth millions of dollars couldn’t mask the sting of humiliation that hit her harder than a slap in the face.
