Next Summer, Find Me If You Can
The same woman whose existence had sent me running into a midnight storm a decade ago, the same woman who had unknowingly forced me to rebuild myself from nothing.
It wasn't that I needed him to have left her.
It was that he had let me believe, for an entire summer, that no one else existed.
"Baby...?" I started again, my voice tighter than I wanted it to be.
Miguel interrupted smoothly. "She won't be joining us."
Angelo's brows lifted. "What happened?"
Miguel's smile faltered, just barely. "We ended things."
I sat there absorbing the words, my mind spinning faster than I could control.
