He Watched the Aurora with His First Love on Our Anniversary

On the fifth anniversary of our relationship, Adrian bailed on me at the last minute, claiming there was a sudden safety incident at his company.

Seeing how crushed I was, my best friend Joss and my younger sister Mia offered to take me to the amusement park.

All day long, they were unusually attentive—buying me cotton candy, standing in line with me for the roller coaster.

I thought they were just worried about me being upset.

Until I went to buy a bottle of water and overheard them whispering in a quiet corner.
