When Love Wilts and Blooms Again
After three years of dating Nathan Foster, I thought I knew where we were headed. But he never proposed. Instead, he fell in love at first sight with my stepsister.
His pursuit of her was bold and relentless, leaving no room for doubt. This time, I didnât break down or wait around, hoping heâd return like before. I made a clean break.
I threw away every gift he had given me, shredded the wedding dress I once secretly bought, and on his birthday, I left Riverdale behind.
Just as I was about to board my flight, Nathan messaged me:
âWhere are you? Everyoneâs waiting for you.â
I smiled, didnât bother replying, and blocked him on every channel. He had no idea that, two weeks earlier, I had accepted the proposal of my college senior, Eustace Cooper.
When the plane landed in my new city, Eustace and I were ready to begin a new chapter of our lives togetherâas husband and wife.
