Widower Asked Me to Take Her Place

For our first anniversary, my boyfriend gave me a twenty-dollar scratch-off card.

When I scratched off a five-million-dollar jackpot, I screamed, ready to throw my arms around his neck. But my best friend, Vivian, grabbed my wrist.

"Valerie, look closely! This card is fake. He’s running a loyalty test on you! To put it bluntly, the guy doesn't trust you for a second!"

She urged me to dump him. Who wants to be with a cheap, broke guy who uses fake junk to test real feelings? Honestly, for a split second, it made perfect sense.
