My daughter married my high school love — at their wedding...

I pulled him into the kitchen.

 

“What is this?” I hissed. “You’re my age. You’re 20 years older than my daughter. And you’re my ex.”

 

He lifted his hands. “Lena, I swear, I didn’t know she was your daughter at first.”

“At first,” I repeated. “So you figured it out.”

 

He swallowed. “Yeah. But I love her.”

 

Before I could unload on him, Emily walked in, arms crossed.

 

“Are you interrogating my boyfriend?”

 

“I know it’s strange.”

 

“Emily,” I said, “this is Mark from high school. We dated for over a year.”
