That evening, I stared at our wedding invitations and called my sister.
“Tell me I’m not making a mistake.”
“About the wedding?”
“Three years together. Six weeks until we’re married.”
“Sarah, do you actually want to marry him?”
Getting exactly what he wanted.
“I wanted to marry the man I thought he was.”
“And now?”
“Now I think he wants a replacement for his mother.”
“Then you already know your answer.”
Arguing was pointless. Robert would just call Mom.
And that’s when I came up with a plan to teach Robert a lesson he’d never forget.
He wants a replacement for his mother.

That evening, I turned to Robert.
“How about a pre-wedding brunch this Saturday?”
“With coworkers?”
“Of course. I’ll handle the invitations.”
Robert grinned. “This is why I love you.”
“Just be ready by two.”
I came up with a plan.
