Jake’s Triumphant Smile
The clapping continued, a round of applause accompanying my walk down the aisle. Jake appeared downright triumphant now, his smile wide as he savored the comedic conclusion.
He gave me a subtle nod, signaling the satisfaction of a plan well executed. It wasn’t revenge, but the humor of it all was sweet enough.
I mouthed ‘Thank you’ back, grateful beyond words for the fun twist he had added to an otherwise dull flight.
