Lucia
Lucia Moretti could attest to the fact that bad news—horrific news—did
not, in fact, come in threes. At least not for her, not in all of her twentyseven years. Not when she’d been eight and her father had told her that her
mother had left them and wasn’t planning on coming back without even the
courtesy of a note. Not when she’d been thirteen and her first and only pet, a
sweet yellow lab who’d been like a sister to her, had gotten sick suddenly
and died. And certainly not now, at twenty-seven, when the person she’d
planned to spend the rest of her life with was caught cheating. By paparazzi.
On the eve of their anniversary.
Okay, scratch that. Maybe bad news did come in threes.
Why The Richmond Herald chose her for such public humiliation that
August afternoon, she couldn’t be sure. Maybe it was karma for all the
times she’d taken an extra snack from the campus dining halls in college.
Or maybe this was the universe’s retribution for all the times she’d done a
California stop at Virginia stop signs.
Whatever she may have done was unimportant because, there, below a
headline that read, “Interception! Vipers QB Caught Passing to the Wrong
Woman”, was a picture of her intended kissing a woman with blonde hair.
And, as if the message wasn’t clear enough, beside that was a picture of
Lucia with very messy brown hair—couldn’t they have used a better picture
of her, at least?—holding a clipboard, her ring finger and ring on full
display.
“They could’ve warned you before they posted this,” her best friend
hissed over speakerphone, breaking the stunned silence that’d fallen over
their collective stupor. Isa’s accent sharpened around the angriest word, as if
The Richmond Herald cared about anything besides sales.
Lucia was still too shocked to speak. Her eyes scanned over every inch of
the photo, falling to the clothing he was sporting. Were those his clothes
from last weekend? That looked like what he’d worn to brunch on Sunday.
The brunch he’d told her was with the guys. With the team. Was he really so
stupid? Had he genuinely thought this wouldn’t get back to her? He was a
nationally recognized sports player, for Pete’s sake.
Her back was still pressed against the concrete of the Virginia Vipers’
offices when Isa, voice calmer and tinged with worry, spoke again. “Luc?
Are you still at work?” Again, no answer as Lucia’s eyes marked where
Max’s hands were in the photo.
“I’m coming to pick you up, hang tight.”
Isa’s Camry rolled into the parking lot fifteen minutes later, but it felt like
only seconds had passed for Lucia. Isa didn’t bother to turn down the
unintelligible rock music or roll her windows up as she rounded the car and
walked toward Lucia.
