The wedding where I didn't eat

Everyone was eating.

Plates full. Smiles everywhere.

I held a plate too. But I wasn't sure what was safe.

So I just stood there. Smiling. Pretending I had already eaten.

Have you skipped food at social events?

Three aunties asked. I said the same thing three times.

On the way home I cried in the car, and I couldn't even explain why.

How did this land for you?
