I HATED THIS THANKSGIVING! Really, nothing feels worse than spending the holiday totally alone. I'm 30, freshly dumped by the guy I thought I'd marry, drowning in stress at work, and barely holding it together.
My mom used to say, "If you can't help yourself, help someone else." So, I dragged myself to a shelter to volunteer to feed the homeless — felt like a good thing.
When I got there, the place was buzzing. So many volunteers had already shown up! Turns out, they didn't need extra hands. So, I stood there, awkward and unsure of what to do, when my eyes caught a framed plate — "Volunteer of the Year." With a picture of HIM. My worst enemy, the biggest jerk I've ever met. What the hell was HE doing here?!
I panicked and bolted for the door, but then I heard it — that smug, infuriating voice behind me:
"Emma?! Hah, guess this Thanksgiving will be one you'll never forget!"👇
