Love or Lies?
I knew every second I delayed was another moment of my life wasted on him.
Before I boarded, Brian stopped by one last time. When he learned of my departure, he simply sighed and wished me happiness and peace in the future.
I thanked him but felt a pang of sadness. Even Brian, an outsider, appreciated my years of sacrifice, while Reynold, who benefited most directly, was the first to betray me.
Just before I boarded my flight, Reynold texted me.
Reynold: "Honey, I made your favorite baked salmon today."
Reynold: "I'll be there soon. Wait for me."
