Chapter 7

Author: Maggie Y
It all started with that necklace.

After that, Ethan and I began spending more time together.

He often picked me up after work. We'd grab a late-night bite at a food truck and talk about anything that came to mind.

When I started applying for internships, he studied with me at the library and even came with me whenever I had an interview.

Little by little, I could feel myself opening up to him.

As for Leo, I only heard about him through Vivian. I didn't see him at all.

    The punch landed with a dull thud.Then Leo roared, "You bastard! You took her from me on purpose! It started when you gave me the wrong Instagram handle. You've been messing with me ever since!"Ethan punched him right back."How dare you say that? You put Zoe through hell, and I haven't even made you answer for it yet!"The two of them started trading punches. There was nothing I could do but stay out of the way.By the time they finally wore themselves out, they were both sprawled on the floor.I rushed to Ethan and crouched beside him, checking him for injuries."Are you hurt? Where does it hurt?"A few feet away, Leo stared at us. His mouth opened, but no words came out.My first instinct had been to check on Ethan, and that told me everything. Whatever Leo wanted to believe, Ethan was the person I cared about most now.From the look on Leo's face, that realization hurt him more than any of his bruises.Once I knew Ethan was okay and Leo had calmed down, I turned to him. "Let's ta

    Luckily, Ethan wasn't badly hurt. He got away with a few cuts and scrapes.As soon as he was out of the hospital, he laced his fingers through mine and took a picture.Our hands were intertwined, and the Hello Kitty bandage I'd put on the back of his hand stood out against the dark background.He immediately posted the photo on Instagram with a one-word caption: "Finally."Then he pinned it to the top of his profile.I couldn't resist teasing him. "Is this necessary?""Of course it is. Zoe, I am so happy. Because of Leo, I was never sure how you felt. I didn't want to put any more pressure on you, so I stayed close and kept my feelings to myself."Leo and I have barely spoken in the past two years. At first, he blamed me for mixing up the Instagram accounts. After that, we just drifted apart."He smiled. "For the past two years, though, he's been running all over the world looking for you."I squeezed his hand. For once, I felt completely sure of where I stood."Thank you for not givin

    That brief run-in with Leo was nothing more than a minor interruption.Once I was back in Phoenix, work kept me busy enough to put it out of my mind.I worked hard, and eventually my manager trusted me with a project of my own.On the day of my first meeting with the client, I arrived at their office ten minutes early. When the receptionist heard why I was there, she led me to the project lead's office.On the way, she casually mentioned, "You're lucky. This is the first project he's handled here. It isn't a big project, but he's young, handsome, and excellent at his job. Everyone here wants a place on his team."Young and easy to work with.I had a general idea of what to expect and thanked her.I straightened my jacket one last time and knocked on the door."Come in."That voice sounded strangely familiar.I didn't think much of it and opened the door."Hello, I'm Zoe Bennett from Meridian Group."The man had his back to me. The moment he heard my name, his hand jerked, nearly sendin

    The last mourner finally left.When I stepped outside into the sunlight, I realized I'd spent the past three days in hell.I'd shut everyone out.I'd stayed by my grandmother's side the entire time. I'd barely eaten or slept, and I'd cried until I had no tears left.Now everyone was gone. I was alone, and the silence made my chest ache.That was when I remembered my phone had been off since that day.I dug the charger out from a pile of stuff and turned my phone on a few minutes later.The second it connected, messages and missed-call notifications flooded the screen.After losing Grandma, I didn't think anything else could hurt me.Ten minutes later, I wished I'd never turned my phone back on.I'd first met Leo at our high school's New Year's talent show.A prop branch had ripped my pants, and he'd given me his jacket to cover up.To him, it had probably meant nothing. He didn't even remember me afterward. But that one small act was enough to make me fall for him. For six years, I'd s

I didn't see him at all.From everything Vivian said, the two of them were still going strong.That May was especially rainy.One day, I came back to the dorm, folded my umbrella, and heard Vivian complaining to Leo on the phone."Why won't it stop raining? We haven't seen each other in a week. Look at Ethan. He sees Zoe every day, rain or shine. Why can't you do that?"Leo was quiet for a moment. Then he said flatly, "I'll come see you when I'm done with what I'm working on."Two days later, the rain finally stopped.Suddenly, I heard people sh

    I never saw what happened next coming.I'd barely gotten back to the dorm when Leo texted me."Is Ethan trying to date you?"I stared at the message for a few seconds before replying. "No."That was it. He didn't say anything else that night.I figured he'd just been curious and had already forgotten about it.Then, at lunch the next day, I got a message from one of my ex-coworkers."This gorgeous guy came looking for you! He asked where you'd gone and I didn't tell him. Guess he's here to make you feel better about the other day."She'd secretly snapped a photo of Leo and sent it with the message.He was sitting on a couch by the floor-to-ceiling windows, sunlight streaming in behind him. Somehow, even sitting there doing nothing, he looked good.He clearly had no idea I'd been fired.Which meant he probably didn't know Vivian had complained about me either.I gave my ex-coworker a vague reply, then opened my chat with Leo. I stared at our conversation, wondering if I should say somet
