A Love on Paper
"Hello. I'm Chris' girlfriend, Roxanne Lind."
I replied with a dry, raspy hum.
She didn't need to say her name. Two years ago, I'd learned about her, the woman Christopher had spent his youth longing for and could never let go of.
I first met Christopher through my close friend, Zoe Lausten, during my freshman year. He was her uncle.
I'd secretly admired him for two years before Zoe told me that Christopher's heart belonged to someone else—a love he couldn't have. He remained single at 27, and Roxanne was probably the reason why.
