In this story, a man named Venicio and his fiancée, Bianca, have a public argument at a restaurant after a waitress, Amelia, accidentally bumps into Bianca. Bianca overreacts, insulting Amelia and creating a scene. Venicio tries to calm Bianca down, but she accuses him of not defending her enough and angrily breaks off their engagement.

After Bianca storms out, Venicio speaks with Amelia, explaining that Bianca had been treating him poorly ever since they got engaged, and he no longer felt love for her. Amelia suggests that if he doesn’t love her, he shouldn’t marry her, which makes Venicio reconsider his decision.

Later, Bianca returns with Venicio’s mother, who witnesses Bianca's rude behavior toward Amelia. Shockingly, Venicio’s mother sides with Amelia and tells Bianca that her behavior is unacceptable. She encourages Bianca to leave and threatens to call security if she doesn’t. Bianca, humiliated, leaves the restaurant, vowing revenge.

As Venicio thanks Amelia for her kindness, he reflects that if it weren’t for Amelia’s accidental bump, he might have gone through with the wedding to someone he didn’t love. The story ends with Venicio expressing gratitude for meeting Amelia, implying that this chance encounter has changed his life for the better.
