A tear slipped down my cheek.

I couldn’t even count how many times this had happened.

How many times he’d left me behind for HER.

For a second, I remembered when Caspian and I used to do that.

As the car drove farther away, the couple faded from view.

And so did the memory.

When I got home, Caspian texted me.

I got Isolde home.”

‘She’s been throwing up nonstop. I don’t think I can leave tonight.”

stared at the screen.

This was the first time he’d ever checked in with me like this.

le even made me promise not to ask again.

Tow, I typed back: “Okay.”

nother message came through.

She really won’t stop throwing up. It’s too late to leave now. Please don’t overthink this.”

replied: “Okay.”
