We can't settle on our holiday plans, so my girlfriend, Janine Simpson, starts a group chat with the three of us. "Let's roll the dice. Whoever gets the highest number decides. That's the fairest way." My friend, Mitchell Stone, rolls a six and wants to go to Marisport. I roll a one. I wanted to go to Rosemont. Rosemont isn't a random pick. It's the place my late mother had always wanted to visit but never got the chance to. This year marks five years since she passed away, and I've promised her I would see Lake Azure for her. Janine knew that, too. Three months ago, she held my hand and promised she would go with me this year. "Fair's fair. You lost the bet." She sends a little pat-on-the-head sticker in the group chat. This is the 27th time this year that I've rolled a one. The week before, I'd lost when we were choosing a restaurant for our team dinner. The week before that, it was a movie. Then yesterday, I used Janine's tablet to look up travel guides and accidentally came across her synced text messages. Her chat with a friend sat right at the top. "I sent you the dice plugin. It can roll whatever number you want." "Thanks. Cameron can get quite stubborn. This is the only way to get him to agree to things." I stared at those messages for a long time and placed the tablet back where I found it. She has known all along what Rosemont meant to me, and it turns out I haven't been losing because of sheer bad luck. I've been losing because she has already taken someone else's side. I leave the group chat and book a direct flight to Rosemont. On the first day of the holiday at 7:00 am, I will board the plane alone.

After Janine left, my life didn't suddenly become easier.Whenever I passed a familiar restaurant, I still remembered the food she used to order for me. Whenever my phone chimed, I would instinctively think it was her.Once, I picked up a box of tea she liked at the grocery store and stood there staring at it for a long time. I used to toss it into the cart without thinking.That day, I put it back on the shelf and went to get coffee beans instead. I knew I was slowly taking control of my life again.…A month later, I moved into a new place. The apartment wasn't big, but the balcony allowed me to see the mountains in the distance.My coworkers came to help with my move.Gwen handled the bookshelves. After tightening the last screw, she stopped and asked, "Is this spot okay? We can move it if you don't like it here."I looked at the wall. "Here is fine."She nodded and left the rest of the arrangement up to me.That evening, Gwen and I sat on the balcony eating takeout.She

Three days after Janine left, the landlord told me the lease termination paperwork was ready, though it still needed both our signatures. I arranged to meet her on Friday to take care of it.That night, she texted me. [Let's settle the apartment situation once and for all. I'll be there.]I replied, [Okay. We'll only discuss the apartment and our belongings.]After work on Friday, I met Janine outside our old apartment complex. She handed me a document folder, saying, "The lease termination paperwork, the inventory of our belongings, and the expense breakdown are all in here."I opened the folder. The rent, security deposit, utilities, and furniture we bought together were itemized by how much each of us had actually paid."You checked everything?" I asked."Yeah.""Good." I took out a pen and signed the termination agreement.Janine looked at me, her voice quieter now. "Must we end things this way?""I think it's only right that the apartment, money, and belongings be settl

After the holiday ended, I officially reported to the Rosemont branch.During my first week on the job, I took the wrong bus in a downpour because I had misremembered the route. I ended up wandering around in the rain for half an hour.In the past, I would've called Janine whenever something like this happened.She could always find the quickest route for me and would even say, "How do you always manage to forget the way? You know what? I'll pick you up."This time, I simply checked the route again, took two different buses, and arrived ten minutes late.When I got to the office, the receptionist told me my department head was already waiting for me in the conference room. I opened the door and met the person assigned to train me—Gwen Miller.She didn't ask why I was late. She simply slid a glass of warm water toward me. "Have some water. It's pouring. I bet the roads are a mess out there.""Yeah, it was. Thanks."Gwen handed me my onboarding documents without flipping through

The holiday wasn't over yet, so the company hadn't officially resumed operations.During the day, I looked for a place to live and familiarized myself with the area. At night, I prepared my onboarding documents and waited for the holiday to end so I could report to the branch.On the fifth day, around noon, Janine finally found me.I later learned that she had asked our landlord and discovered that I was planning to move to Rosemont.Then, based on a photo of the old town I had posted on my social media, she searched several guesthouses in the area until she found me.She was still wearing the gray jacket she wore the day we left. She looked haggard, with a few strands of hair falling messily around her temples. She held a paper bag."Brought you some stomach medicine and those chestnut pastries you like."I stopped on the steps and didn't take the bag. "I posted a photo. It's not an invitation for you to show up here, by the way.""I'm just worried about you.""What are you r
