[Henry: So you're finally willing to talk to me.]

[Me: Answer my question.]

[Henry: I just care about you. I can't stand seeing you with another guy.]

[Me: We broke up.]

[Henry: I never agreed to that.]

[Me: A breakup doesn't need your agreement.]

[Henry: Sarah, give me one more chance. I've really changed.]

I stared at the screen. The words were ridiculous.

[Me: Changed how? By threatening people?]

[Henry: I didn't threaten him. I gave him a warning. If he had any sense, he'd stay away

    Weston adjusted his glasses."I'll send him a cease-and-desist letter from the firm, formally notifying him that his behavior counts as harassment and demanding he stop immediately. If he doesn't, we'll take legal action. Most people back off once they realize you're serious.""Do it."The letter Weston drafted was formal, but every line cut deep.[...your conduct has substantially interfered with Ms. Saun's daily life and may constitute unlawful harassment and other actionable civil conduct.][You are hereby directed to immediately cease and desist from all direct or indirect contact with Ms. Saun, her family members, friends, coworkers, and acquaintances...][If you fail to comply, Ms. Saun reserves the right to pursue all available legal remedies, including reporting the matter to law enforcement and seeking appropriate civil relief, without further notice...]After reading it, I said, "Add one more thing.""What is it?""He threatened my coworker, Braxton Burton. He said h

He listened, then jotted down a few notes."What exactly did he say?""He said he knew dangerous guys and told Braxton to watch his back.""Do you have a recording?""No.""Texts?""No. He said it to Braxton in person at

    "Sarah." He stepped closer, voice low. "Give me one hour. Just one."I started to answer when the elevator doors opened behind me.Braxton stepped out with a folder in hand. He saw Henry and me and paused.His eyes moved from Henry to me."Everything okay?"I shook my head.Henry looked at Braxton, then back at me. His face changed."Who is he?""A coworker."Braxton didn't say anything else. He nodded at me and walked off with the folder.Henry watched him until he disappeared across the lobby."Does he like you?" His voice went cold.I looked him straight in the eye."Henry, we broke up. Whoever likes me—or whoever I like—is none of your business.""We've been broken up less than four months, and you're already—""Already what?"His jaw tightened, but he couldn't finish.I almost laughed."Henry, listen carefully." I said each word slowly. "There was never a third person between us. Jenny doesn't matter. The problem was you. Deep down, you always thought I wasn't wo

    About six weeks later, I went back home.Mom called and said she missed me, so I said yes and booked a weekend ticket.My hometown was tiny. After the train from the city, I still had a two-hour bus ride.Mom was waiting at the station in a red T-shirt, her hair dyed jet-black."You lost weight."Always the first thing out of her mouth."I didn't. I actually gained two pounds.""Good. That's good."When we got home, Dad was in the kitchen making dinner.A pot of cream soup simmered on the stove, filling the house with a rich, warm smell."Dad."He glanced back."You're home? Go wash your hands. Dinner's ready."There were four dishes on the table: a tomato-feta omelet, herb-roasted pork, sautéed zucchini, and cream soup.Mom loaded my plate until it nearly spilled over, then kept going."Mom, I can't eat all this.""Then take your time."Dad ate a few bites, then suddenly asked, "You and Henry broke up?"My fork froze."Yeah.""Good."He grabbed another slice of po

    He stepped back, waved, and walked away.I stood there until he disappeared around the corner.Then I looked down and opened the box.Inside was a small silver bird brooch, wings spread wide.Under it was a neatly folded note.I opened it.One sentence, written in careful handwriting.[Sarah, spring is here. Time for you to start over too.]I stood under the streetlight so long the security guard peeked out at me more than once.Finally, I pinned the brooch to my collar, folded the note in my palm, and went upstairs.That night, I lay in bed staring at the ceiling.My phone lit up.Luke.[If you ever come to Aureport, I'll take you out for the best authentic avgolemono.]I replied, [Aureport has avgolemono?]He sent back a smiley.I set my phone by my pillow and rolled over.***Henry got out of the hospital.Zoe told me.She had a friend who worked as a nurse in the ortho ward at VitalCare Hospital."I heard he made a whole scene when he left," Zoe said over the p

    He handed me the bag."Which way are you headed?""Near Riverside Road.""That's on my way."We walked side by side, our shadows stretching and shrinking under the streetlights."What do you do now?" he asked."Copywriter. Ads. You?""Architect.""Where?""Aureport. I'm just back to handle something. I leave again next week.""Oh."After a while, he spoke again."I heard you and Henry broke up."I slowed down."How'd you know?""Someone said it in our high school group chat. Your ex took some girl on a long weekend trip, and you caught them."Wow. News traveled fast."Yeah. We broke up.""Good."I looked at him.He kept his eyes on the road. His profile was sharp now, nothing like the shy high school boy who used to walk around hunched over."Luke.""Yeah?""Were you into me in high school?"He stopped walking.Under the streetlight, he turned to face me. The warm glow flashed across his glasses, hiding his eyes.A few seconds passed."Yeah.""Why didn't you
