Objection Overruled: I Do Anyway
As I went to delete him from my social media, I noticed he had changed his profile picture.
The cartoon avatar I had drawn for him a decade ago was gone and replaced by a casual snapshot that didn't even match his usual style.
I remembered something I had read once. "When a man who never changes his profile picture suddenly does, it means there's a new woman in his life."
My hands trembled slightly as I hit the delete button.
In one second, ten years of messages, memories, and emotions vanished. So did my attachment.
Seeing a message from my godmother checking in, I texted back to let her know I was safe.
