Love No More
For Chloe Morris.
Yesterday, when they had returned, I'd overheard her murmuring to him, asking for diamond necklaces as her birthday gift. And here Jonathan was, already delivering.
Of course—whatever Chloe wanted, no matter the effort, he made it happen.
Not like me. All I'd ever wanted was a wedding. A wedding I had waited eight years for, and never received.
So this time, Jonathan, I would wait no longer.
I took a few steps back, silently slid the ring off my finger, and handed it to the clerk to put away. Instantly, Jonathan pulled out his card to pay.
