No More Saving Me
Breakups were routine.
The day Nadine left to study abroad, I got a call from Stefan.
His voice was slurred, as if he was drunk.
I went to the bar and found Stefan collapsed over a table, completely out of it.
I helped him home, prepared hangover medicine, and covered him with a blanket.
Just as I was about to leave, he grabbed my hand.
"Elise, I like you. Be with me."
I knew it was drunk nonsense.
I did not agree. I only told him to rest.
