Marcus's sixth patent had just gone through, and he said he was going to give me the grand proposal, the one that would close out four years of dating.
The campus quad was covered in candles and roses. Marcus stood in the middle of it holding a bouquet, his eyes shining.
He was halfway through his speech when his graduate student Claire threw herself into his arms. The plain silver band on her finger, identical to his, caught the candlelight.
The crowd went still, then started murmuring. Every face turned toward them with the kind of look people get when they think they've stumbled onto a secret.
And I was standing in the middle of that crowd. His girlfriend of four years, the one he had kept hidden the entire time, watching them hold each other. Watching him swallow the rest of his speech. Watching him hand my flowers to her.
My phone buzzed in my hand. A message from S.
"Sweetheart. Have you thought about it? We know we were wrong."
