Chapter 8

Author: Binky Babe
It was a photo of the rental Cora and I lived in back in college. There were the cheap floral-print curtains, the green couch we'd picked up at a thrift store, and two instant noodle cups sitting on the table.

The caption read, "You once said these were the days you missed the most."

I stared at that photo for a long time. Then, I replied, "Cora, what I miss isn't the days when we were broke, but the woman who only had eyes for me. Unfortunately, you're not her anymore."

After sending it, I t

    I couldn't stop grinning like an idiot.The floating comments came drifting through the air again."Hurry up and get together already.""Faye is so smooth.""Man, Mrs. Merrill is the ultimate wingwoman. What did she say? 'Starting from a professional relationship is the safest way to go?'""Allen finally smiled. He hasn't done that in so long.""Cora must be thinking, 'What? I'm not even dead yet.'""Whether Cora is dead or not has nothing to do with Allen anymore.""I stan Allen and Faye. She's the right person for him!"…Three months later, I arrived at the Gobeki Desert, where the temperature was minus four degrees Fahrenheit.The wind cut against my face like a knife.I stood in the snow, bundled up in a thick puffer jacket and wearing two layers of gloves, my camera hoisted on my shoulder.I had come alone. I wasn't waiting for anyone—I wanted to see it for myself.Green bands of light stretched from one end of the sky to the other, like a love letter written by t

    Preston lowered his head and wept for a long time.After sending him the studio's address and contact information, I stood up."Focus on work instead of getting lost in all that nonsense. You have a long life ahead of you—don't waste your time on someone else's woman."I turned and walked out of the cafe. The sunlight was perfect.The comments exploded."Allen is repaying malice with kindness?""I'm crying. He helped Preston.""'In the story of my life, you're not even a supporting character.' This line is so badass.""This is what a true male lead looks like.""All those people who were trashing Allen before, come out and take your beating.""I shouldn't have insulted him. I was wrong.""Allen taught me that true strength isn't about revenge but indifference."I spent the entire day shooting Mr. and Mrs. Merrill's golden wedding anniversary photos.The location they chose was the park where they first met.50 years later, the park was still there. Even the red maple tree

    "You've heard about Infinity Group terminating the contract, right?" Cora asked."Yeah," I replied."Faye was the one behind it," she said, looking me in the eye. "She's courting you, isn't she?""That's none of your business.""Allen, listen to me." Her tone grew serious. "There's more to Faye than meets the eye. She's been in the entertainment industry for over a decade and has managed to stay at the top the whole time. You don't stay on top that long without getting your hands dirty.""That's enough," I said, standing up. "Cora, did you call me out here just to badmouth her?""I'm only looking out for you.""Your time to do that has already passed."I picked up my bag and moved to leave."Do you know why she got divorced?" Cora called out from behind me. "Her ex-husband, Keith Stone, said she was a control freak. She wouldn't even let him have a social life of his own."I stopped walking and said without turning around, "Cora, even if what you're saying is true, that's my

    I didn't cry.The floating comments came flying."I'm crying. I'm genuinely crying.""Cora actually signed the divorce agreement. Their relationship is truly over.""That line about eating less instant noodles from Allen just stabbed me right in the heart.""Wait, why has the tone of the comments shifted? Wasn't everyone hating on Allen before?""That's because we were fooled earlier. Preston was supposedly so wonderful.""What happened to the canon ship? Where's Preston? How did he just disappear?""Cora transferred him to another city. He probably won't show up again.""So, Cora lost both men?""Serves her right."My new apartment was tiny—one bedroom, one living room, and a kitchen barely big enough for one person. But the balcony was huge.On my first day after moving in, I set up a small coffee table on the balcony, laid down a rug, and placed a beanbag chair.When I sat there at night, I could see the city lights.Fred helped me finish moving, then collapsed onto th

Unfortunately, you're not her anymore."After sending it, I turned off my phone and went to take a shower.Hot water poured over my face. I couldn't tell where it ended and the tears began.The comments appeared once more."Oh my god, Allen is one clear-headed guy. I'll give him that.""Faye's been divorced too? They're destined for each other, alright.""Cora's getting all nostalgic now. A little late for that, don't you think?""I suddenly feel like Allen and Faye would make such a good couple.""Hold your horses. Let's see how things play out fi

    The floating comments drifted past."Oh no! Cora's starting to play the emotional card.""Allen, don't go soft now! She took Preston to see the northern lights!""But Allen and Cora look so sweet together in that photo. I had tears in my eyes too.""Sweet, my ass. How does she explain going to see the northern lights with Preston?""Didn't you see she said it was for work?""Since when does work require the two of them to go see the northern lights? Don't try to make excuses."I put my phone face down on the nightstand and closed my eyes, thinking to myself, "It's all too late, Cora."…On the last day of the shoot, the wind had died down considerably, and the sea lay calm and still, as smooth as a mirror.Faye stood on the reef, her white shirt billowing in the breeze.I crouched down on the sand, searching for the right angle. The sunlight slipped through a gap in the clouds and fell perfectly across her profile.I pressed the shutter. This photo would turn out beautifull
