A Hard Decision to Make

Mia was seriously thinking about calling off the wedding. She remembered the time when she was very happy with George, but that time had come to an end. Ever since George became famous, he turned into this arrogant, selfish person and Mia just couldn't put up with him anymore. He even started looking down on their friends and family. Mia picked up the phone and called him, "It's over. The wedding is off." She could hear him scream, "You can't do that! This will be a scandal! You think you can just get away with this?" Mia hung up, knowing that she had made the right decision. That was not the man she loved.
