He Gave My World Cup Ticket to an Intern

My boyfriend was a soccer fan, so I went with him to watch the World Cup.

While we were lining up in ninety-eight-degree heat to enter the stadium, I went to buy him an iced Coke from a stand nearby.

But when I came back, my boyfriend was gone, and my digital ticket showed it had already been scanned.

“You went in? Why does my ticket show it’s been used?” I called him anxiously.

“Oh, I ran into Maya, the intern from my department. She didn’t get a ticket and was crying outside, so I gave her yours.”

“Are you insane? That was the VIP front-row ticket I got!”
