Updates about Samuel and Sally drifted to me through mutual friends in the weeks that followed.
The two never built a real relationship after everything that had happened.
With the apartment sold, Samuel had no place to stay and was forced to move back in with his parents, relying on their support to get by.
His professional career also suffered severe setbacks.
Sally mocked him relentlessly for failing to keep his wife and build a stable life.
In return, Samuel called her a promiscuous woman who could not live alone without a man.
The pair fell out completely, turning into bitter enemies.
Their messy ending stirred no feelings within me.
I could only think they had reaped exactly what they had sown.

At an industry cocktail party some time later, I crossed paths with Sally.
