By the Time He Looked Back
Just after midnight on my birthday, I quietly went to the banquet hall where Luke Bennett had prepared my party. I wanted to leave the ring there, along with the project contract I had begged my father to approve for him.
But the lights were still on.
Bright balloons covered the floor. Luke was still tying them one by one. Someone laughed and asked if he was serious about not breaking up with me yet, even dragging Madison Carter over to help set up my birthday party.
Luke put out his cigarette and said, "This one is too sensitive. Too much trouble."
Madison laughed beside him. She reminded everyone of their bet: whoever dated all twelve zodiac signs first would owe the other a condition. Luke had already reached his eleventh girlfriend.
"Of course I will not quit now," Luke said. "I am already looking for the next one. Just wait until I beat you."
I watched his cold profile through the crack in the door, threw the ring and the contract into the trash, and turned away.
Someone behind me asked what sign I was.
"Scorpio," Luke answered.
Luke Bennett, of all the signs you chose to mock, you picked the one that remembers.
