The Hundredth Time She Ghosted
The hundredth promise, traded for a concert and a boy toy.
I froze out there till morning. She never came.
Five years gone to voicemail.
Five years spent waiting for her to mean it.
In the end, I was just background noise.
'Sonia Quindt, I'm done waiting.'
***
That night, I didn't go home.
Just dragged my half-frozen body two hours through slush to the nearest hotel.
No calls. No texts. Nothing.
Next morning, I showed up at Quindt Corp early—to quit.
Sonia built the place.
I was just another name on her payroll.
