My girlfriend, Clara Sutton, had severe mysophobia. Before every intimate moment we shared, she required me to disinfect myself thoroughly in advance. She even set strict rules about how often we could kiss or sleep together, and how long it could last. Without her permission, I was not allowed to touch her. I had always believed she treated everyone this way. I even secretly felt relieved, thinking that I must have been somewhat special to her. Then came that night at the bar. During a party, her childhood friend, Ethan Ford, drew a dare in a game of truth or dare. Then, in front of everyone, he leaned in and kissed Clara. Although it was supposedly a punishment for losing, they kissed deeply for a full five minutes. Our friends laughed and jostled one another as they turned to look at me. Only then did I realize that Clara’s obsession with cleanliness had never been a universal rule. It had existed simply because she did not like me. Disheartened, I asked for a breakup. But Clara soon regretted it. With reddened eyes, she begged me not to leave.

At that moment, the boarding announcement echoed through the airport.Clara’s voice trembled with uncontrollable panic.“You’re going on a business trip, right?”Watching the hurried travelers weave past, my heart felt unusually calm.“I’m going to the Everton branch.”“How long?”“Three years.”Clara paused, then spoke, her tone careful, almost fragile.“Three years… three years isn’t very long… Travel is so convenient now, I can come see you, and I can wait…”“Wait for what?”Her voice hardened with a resolve I hadn’t heard before.“Nathan, when you come back, let’s get married. Okay?“Or… we can get married now.”I froze, letting the flood of emotions spill out.“Clara, do you know? Actually, for your birthday this year, I hid a diamond ring in the cake to propose to you.“But it got interrupted. That night, Ethan got rear-ended. “You panicked so badly, I had no choice but to follow you to check on him. When we arrived, he hadn’t even been scratched.”Her quiet, ch

Clara cared deeply about appearances.The last time she had come to my office on her own had already surprised me.By my understanding of her, that had been the greatest concession she could make.The last time, I had ended things without mercy; she should have no reason to linger anymore.Without a relationship, without life revolving around Clara, my time suddenly felt far more abundant.I threw myself into several new cases—two to three times my usual workload—and stayed late at the law firm every night.When one case concluded with a resounding victory, my superior called me in.“Recently, the company’s foreign cooperation projects have increased. I’m planning to station someone in Everton for three years. Are you interested, Nathan?“Of course, in three years, when you return, you’ll get a raise, at least a hundred dollars. I think your university major was exactly in this field, right?”In the past, I would have refused, unwilling to be so far from Clara.But now, I acc

Ethan’s eyes were bloodshot as he lowered his head and pressed his lips to Clara’s.He whimpered, crying aloud.“Stop deceiving yourself, will you?“Tell me—if you had so many suitors, why did you choose Nathan? Wasn’t it simply because he looked most like me among them?”Whether struck by the truth or something else, Clara offered no rebuttal.Her gaze darkened, fixed on Ethan, and she took the initiative kiss him.I had never seen Clara so passionate, so utterly consumed.In my memory, she was never a person of strong desire.Every act of intimacy between us had been limited by frequency and duration.We kissed every other day, never longer than a minute.We had sex once a week, never exceeding an hour.I had never witnessed this delirious, reckless side of her. It was unfamiliar, even alien to me.It wasn’t divine favor that led her to choose me; it was Ethan’s shadow.I had a face similar to his, and that alone had won me her choice.Pathetic.I knew this video cou

Clara froze for a moment before she realized what I had said.She looked at me in disbelief.“You’re breaking up with me? How far are you planning to go with this?” she asked.A trace of anxiety crept into her tone.“You weren’t always this unreasonable. Why now?”She genuinely seemed unable to understand why I wanted to end things.I spoke calmly, just as she had once been.“I won’t interfere while you and Ethan hook up with each other. Isn’t that better?”Perhaps my composed tone struck a nerve.Her voice suddenly rose. “Can you stop thinking so filthily?“That dare game that day…I only helped him out of friendship spanning so many years. Even if it stirred jealousy, there should be a limit.”I let out a bitter, sarcastic laugh.“Really? Just friends?“You’ve always had severe mysophobia, hated anyone touching your things. “Why can Ethan use your favorite cup? Why can he wear matching slippers with you? Why can he stay over?”Initially, I didn’t want to press her so
