20. Crazy Coincidence
In the early 90s, before the internet, my fiancée Meg went to Belgium for an internship while I stayed back to set up our future home. Two weeks before her return, I discovered my childhood neighbor Claire working at a nearby coffee house. Claire was also engaged to a man named Ben, who was interning in Belgium. Claire soon learned from her Aunt Sue, who had seen Ben in Prague with a woman named Meg, that Ben and Meg had been seeing each other throughout their internships. I confronted Meg, who admitted to the affair. Claire had already thrown Ben’s belongings on the lawn, and I picked Meg up from the airport only to tell her our friends knew what she had done and that I never wanted to see her again. Remarkably, Meg and Ben later married and divorced after he cheated on her. The universe works in mysterious ways.
