Nina poured herself another cup of coffee from the expensive percolator
and sighed as the rich aroma of her new favourite blend hit her nostrils. She
reached for her fresh, oven-warmed croissant and took an enormous bite,
feeling the pastry yield softly between her teeth; tasting its buttery
deliciousness on her tongue.

See? It was all about making the best of things. And when life deals you
lemons, you make, well, maybe not lemonade, but you buy yourself the best
of everything, treat yourself to some seriously decadent breakfast fodder
and practice some good old-fashioned self-care.
So, what if it was her fortieth birthday? Lots of people still achieved
tons in their forties, and these days it wasn’t even considered particularly
old. She wasn’t going to let herself crumble under the pressure of a simple
date on the calendar and wasn’t going to beat herself up about the fact that
she’d pretty much achieved nothing on her bucket list during her four
decades on the planet. She was going to celebrate that she was here, that she
was worth it; she was going to make the most of her day and see this as the
start of something wonderful.
They say life begins at forty, don’t they? Well, bring it on, she thought,
taking a sip from her cup and letting out an audible ‘mmm.’
Rory had been a freeze-dried granules man, baulking at the price of
freshy ground, so buying herself a coffee pot and an overpriced selection of
beans from a specialist store had been a kind of revenge. And he’d always
hated the idea of croissants for breakfast, preferring to munch the same grey
cereal from a generic packet for the last decade and a bit.
At least now every time she sipped her coffee, she’d know that she
might be single, might be going through a divorce, might be hurtling
towards middle-age, but at least she was enjoying a better breakfast than he
was. Revenge was hers. And in this case, it was a dish better served slightly
warmed in the oven and glazed with fresh strawberry jam.
(Sure, so it wasn’t the finger-twiddling, evil-laugh-inducing revenge of
a Bond villain, or the crafty, confidence-sapping payback of an ex set to
gaslight their former lover into a state of madness. But Rory hadn’t done
anything wrong other than fall out of love with her. Their divorce had been
as lacklustre as their marriage had become. They’d sort of drifted apart, and
finally he’d taken it upon himself to make things official by hiring a lawyer.
She hadn’t the impetus or energy to key his car, or crank call his work, or
report him to the police for something, let alone sabotage his future
relationships. Anyway, they say the best revenge is living well – so that’s
what she was going to do. From now on.)
