Kim bent down and stroked Paddy's fur. At least the dogs still liked her. She hadn't seen Todd all day. Part of her was relieved; another part wanted to talk to him. She needed to make it right.

Someone hugged her from behind. Kim screamed.

"Chill. It's Todd."

"Oh." Kim's heart sank. She turned around.

Todd looked awful. For him, anyway. His shoulders were slumped and he looked like he hadn't slept. His face was drawn and sad, not at all like the usual Todd.

"You… you okay?" she asked, partly because it was something to say, but mostly because she was worried.

He sighed. "You were right. I asked Andrea about… what you said. She came clean. We broke up last night. You were right, Kimmy."

Normally she loved being right. But not when it came at Todd's expense. She threw her arms around his neck. "Oh, Toddy, I'm so sorry. It's her loss. She's a loser, John's a loser, and they're perfect for each other."

Todd hugged her back. "I'm sorry. About what I said to you. I was such a dickhead. I must have made you feel so horrible. Please don't hate me, Kimmy. I couldn't take it."

"It's okay," she told him. It didn't matter now. How could she be mad at him? He was suffering enough. "I could never hate him."

Todd pulled away and looked at her, eyes glistening with tears. "You look… beautiful."

"For someone who just got cheated on and then bawled out by her best friend, you mean? Well, my sister always says the best revenge is looking good."

He laughed. "I wish I got that memo."

"You do look good," she said, meaning it.

He smirked. "Yeah, right."

"You do! You always do." And suddenly it hit her like a train – how had she never realized how cute he was? She liked him! She always had; she was just too caught up with John to notice. She leaned up and brushed his cheek. "She is totally going to regret this."

Todd smiled like he was seeing her for the first time. "So is John."

Kim resisted the urge to do the cabbage patch, right there in the animal shelter. He definitely liked her back!

Todd grinned. "Let's make them regret this."

And then he kissed her.

The dogs howled like they were cheering her and Todd on, and her legs tingled. She felt like she was floating. John never kissed her like this!

Her sister wasn't quite right, Kim realized. The best revenge was getting the guy, coming out on top, and looking good while doing it. There really was nothing better than revenge.
This story was inspired by Shania Twain's ultimate revenge-slash-romance. For those of you who don't know, Shania, an attractive singer, was married to Mutt, a busted up looking guy. Shania's best friend Marie-Anne, a busted up looking lady, was married to Frederic, an attractive guy. Mutt and Marie-Anne cheated on their respective spouses with each other. So what did the spurned spouses, Shania and Frederic, do? They divorced their cheating SOs and married each other! That was a win-win situation for them.

Just know that Todd and Kim are infinitely more attractive than Andrea and John.

The best revenge was getting the guy, coming out on top, and looking good while doing it. Truer words were never spoken. And this is my life's goal.
