The Last Laugh

The girl he dated briefly Had pulled some shenanigans Everyone liked her at first Loved her, until she showed her true colors. Always laughing, making fun, teasing, playing She made up lies about him, the second he told her it was not working out. Told terrible things to his family, friends, and co-workers. Languished, and lied, stalked him, had to be served with a restraining order. Always kind to her, and gentle with his good-bye, he was hurt and shocked. Understandably relieved when a casual acquaintance said, Guess What? No one believes her. She is not the woman we thought she was. He could not help but breathe a deep sigh of relief. Her behavior saved his reputation.

Thank you, Darlene. The true colors always come roaring to the surface.

I've been through a similar situation- such a relief when the truth is plain enough for all to see. "Her behavior saved his reputation"- so vindicating when those messed up games and lies don't have the effect they intended. :)

The truth is impossible to hide, and whether they admit it or not, people see, and their hearts know.
