Lisa told Mark that she and two ladies from work won a four-day holiday trip to Myrtle Beach.

For some good reason, Mark, after leaving early from work, runs into Martha, his one-time girlfriend from college, who happened to be John's sister. Martha, it seemed, was there to feed the fish and tidy up John's house. He invited Mark inside while she did the chores she had gone there to do for John.

As Mark was standing by a small serving bar talking to Martha, he looked down and saw two verification tickets, one for an airline and another for a four-day hotel stay in Myrtle Beach. What shocked him were the names on the forms—John Miller and Lisa Larson were on the airline reservation, while the hotel had them listed as John and Lisa Miller.

John? She's left me for John? My worst enemy? She knows he's the one that got me fired from a job I held for over twenty years, he thought.
