"Jenny, I am calling off the wedding, keep the ring, I don't want it. Samantha has chosen another ring, a bit more class than the one you wanted, so that's that. I won't be trying to talk to you, and I don't wish to see you, even at the pub, so if you see me, turn around and leave us alone."
Jenny sat there, absolutely still, shocked at the horrible words that had spewed forth from Case's mouth.
"Case, Who's Samantha? Is she the girl from Sainsburys we met a few weeks ago? Have you been seeing her instead of me, is that it?" The tears were trickling down Jenny's face as she spoke.
"Yeah, something like that. She puts out, Jenny. No worries, no argument, none of that giggle stuff like you do and then pushing me away. She knows a thing or two about sex, and what she lets me do, well it would be a sad day in hell before you'd even think about those things. Anyway, her family's got money, and she wants me and her to share it, which we can do after we're married. We'll have a proper house, I'll be getting a new car, better than this heap of crap I've got here anyway, and her old man's got me a job lined up at his firm on good money. So that's it. You can get out now, remember what I said. Don't call me, don't talk to Sammy, just leave us alone, and everything'll be okay. Got it?"
"Yes Case, I get it. Well, I can't say I was expecting this, but I guess it's better coming now before we were married. Anyway, I hope you and Samantha have a happy life together. I'll be going now, goodbye Case, and I won't be bothering you. Please don't bother me or come visiting me or my family either."
Jenny got out of Case's car, a couple of tears slowly making their way down her face. But these weren't tears of sadness, instead they were tears of joy. And to think, if he had let her speak first, she would have told him how she had won Β£2 million in last weekend's lottery, and he would have had half. As she watched his car pull away, she couldn't help laughing, a loud and very satisfactory laugh.
