I laughed a quiet , bitter sound . " Of course , you don't . But I do . I'll never forget it . Because that was the day your distant cousin told me she first slept with you . "

The color drained from his face .

" That woman - the one you insisted on having as our bridesmaid . She confessed everything to me . And the irony ? You discarded her just as easily as you discarded me . She wasn't the first , was she ?
