Excerpt:
As I sat there on the side of Quincy€s bed, the last straw flew in through the bedroom window and landed right on my camel€s back. Quincy, my fianc© and the love of my life, was in the shower whistling. He was whistling like he didn€t have a care in the world.

He was whistling like he hadn€t refused to set a wedding date. Like my biological clock wasn€t ticking as loud as a time bomb.
I€d been with Quincy Wright for eight years. I€d been his lover and friend. I€d bent over backwards, neglected my own needs, and done all I could do to be a good woman. I wanted a husband and I wanted children and he knew it. We€d discussed it at length. And what was his response? His black behind was in the shower whistling. That was it and whether he knew it or not, it was over. O-V-E-R
