They both blinked like they couldn’t believe it.
“You’re… not upset?” Diane asked, tilting her head.
“I guess I understand,” I said softly. “Love is complicated.”
Aaron looked relieved. Almost proud of himself.
Because I had something they didn’t see coming.
For months, I pretended to move on.
I smiled when they sent smug “just checking in” texts. I acted calm, even cheerful, when Aaron came by to pick up the last of his things.
