Quiet vindication served cold with a side of school runs.
The narrator watches his bride bolt mid-ceremony for the groom next door, who admits he cannot wed his dying fiancée while loving Eleanor. Left humiliated as his mother collapses, he meets the other deserted bride and proposes they marry each other. Three years build a household with two children. Then Eleanor reappears tearful and penitent, only to find him carrying both kids to the car, dismissing her with a calm excuse to collect his wife from work.
