The dingy living room was gone. Gleaming hardwood floors stretched out under new furniture, fresh paint glowed on the walls, and the scent of fresh flowers filled the air. In the middle of it all stood Jack, the man I had married on a dare just thirty days earlier. He was no longer in torn clothes and worn sneakers — he wore a perfectly tailored suit, holding a glass…
