His Boss Called Me Wife

Three days before our college reunion, a photo dropped into the alumni group chat.

It was a bridal portrait.

"Wait, are Elise and Chad finally tying the knot?"

Seeing my name paired with my college ex pulled me straight out of my afternoon reverie. I tapped into the chat, only to freeze.

The woman in the picture was undeniably me—swathed in layers of ivory silk against the sun-drenched cliffs of the Amalfi Coast. It was a destination shoot my husband and I had done two years ago. I had no earthly idea how someone had dug it up and posted it here.
