When Our Forever Hit Zero: No Second Chances

I was born with a superpower: I could see the "Breakup Countdown" floating above every couple's head.

With this perfectly accurate number, I'd managed to avoid men who were destined to lead me to a dead end.

With Julian Sterling, my boyfriend of three years, the countdown above his head was originally fifty years.

But five minutes before our engagement party, I watched those numbers spin backward in a wild, frantic blur.

They dropped straight to "0 days, 0 hours, 0 minutes, 0 seconds."
