"I love you, not her. It didn't mean anything."
That's how it goes sometimes. Then the wife forgives, and it's all good. So your hook is great because of the heart wrenching way the story starts. No one likes to be told they're not loved, especially when it's the expense of another. Excellent story with superb writing.
What do you think of my hook:
"I love all three of you." 😉
Thank you my friend, @litguru. You are an astute reader and a skilled writer. Your positive estimation of my brief story really makes me feel good.
You are right. I turned the cliche around. That cliche drives me crazy :))
I believe in forgiveness, but, come on....
I do love your hook. Very clever.
Have a great one. Looking for a story from you :)
Yea, I think it's easy to fall into clichés. I do it all the time and feel bad afterwards, but sometimes a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. :)
It's here somewhere, I just need to find it. ;)
