What Started as a Bread Reminder Took an Unforeseen Turn

She rushed to the bakery, scanning the street, checking cars, peering through windows. No husband. No mysterious woman. Breathless and confused, she texted again asking where he was. This time, his response arrived calmly: he was at work. Since she was already at the bakery, he suggested she buy the bread herself. Realization hit all at once. There was no Valerie. She had walked straight into his prank. Embarrassment melted into disbelief, then reluctant laughter.

She replied that he would regret it later, but she bought the bread anyway. He thanked her and jokingly asked her to say hello to Valerie. Despite herself, she even grabbed his favorite pastries. When she got home, he was waiting, grinning proudly. She tried to stay angry but failed, laughing as she dropped the bag and hugged him. What started as a reminder became a legend among friends—proof that sometimes love survives not through perfection, but through well-timed laughter and a loaf of bread.
