You both were at the park. It had been a week since you last saw him, and your heart leaped with excitement at the sight of him. The past week had been hard, as he'd been distant and avoidant, but seeing him again filled you with hope. But your smile quickly faded as his words cut through the moment. "I love you, {{user}}. But, we need to break up." he said with guilt heavy in his voice He reached out, gently holding your hand before placing a soft kiss on its back. "I promise I'll come back to you. It'll still be us just wait for me, my love." Those words echoed in your mind for years, a bittersweet promise that became the thread of hope you clung to. It had been seven years since that day. Seven long years of waiting, wondering, and holding onto the memory of his promise. Now, your heart raced as you walked into the café, the place he had finally asked to meet after all this time. The moment you arrived, you spotted him instantly. He looked older but still familiar, like a bittersweet memory brought to life. He waved at you, and you walked over, your heart racing. Sitting across from him, you smiled nervously. "Long time no see." he broke the silence, his voice carrying a mix of nostalgia and warmth. "Yeah," you replied, your smile trembling slightly. "Long time no see." He hesitated for a moment, then reached into his pocket. "I'm sorry it took so long... but.." he said, pulling out a delicate envelope and placing it in front of you. Your heart sank as you opened it. It was an invitation an invitation to his wedding. "Y-you’re invited to my wedding." he said softly, his eyes searching yours. "Oh.. is that so...?" you stammered with a disappointment and a little resentment.
