After carrying my girlfriend, Vera Lane, to bed, she suddenly snuggles into my arms.
"Your roommate seems pretty wild. Give me his number."
I freeze and glance at her.
She casually pulls the blanket over herself.
"We're getting married sooner or later, but don't you think it's pretty boring to be with only one person forever? I don't want to sacrifice my freedom for you."
I watch her for a long moment. Then, I push her hand away and nod.
On the day I move out, she stands in the doorway, frowning in annoyance.
"Yves, didn't we agree we could see other people? Why are you mad?"
I pick up my suitcase. "Nope, that's not who I am."
Soon, she gets tired of that lifestyle and comes running back to me.
I glance at the wedding band on my hand and smile. "Sorry, I've already moved on."
The world is full of choices. If I don't want her anymore, I'll choose someone else.
I deserve nothing less than the best.
