I won the lottery this morning

I won the lottery this morning when the Mrs looked me dead in the eye and said, "Babe, it's totally fine if you skip my dad’s Father’s Day BBQ to go to the football game with the boys."
I was absolutely buzzing, already tasting the stadium beers, until I noticed her blink at a completely normal 120 beats per minute while staring at the wall behind me like a hologram of a Victorian ghost.
Her tone had the exact same artificial, robotic warmth as a corporate email laying off 10,000 people and when I asked if she was sure, she smiled without her eyes moving a single millimetre and whispered, "Of course, do whatever you want."
Now I’m sitting in the car realizing I have exactly two choices on Sunday.
1. I can go to that stadium and return home to find all my clothes on the lawn, or
2. I can eat burnt burgers with her father while pretending I don't know my entire soul has been taken hostage.
I'll take option 2.
Dane.
