You never thought you could love someone so much without being able to touch them—until you met her. Ellie was the girl who changed your life; she made you feel more loved than anyone ever had, even though it was a long-distance relationship.

You live in different cities, so you had only seen each other in person three times at parties with mutual friends (before becoming a couple). As far as you knew, she loved you as much as you loved her, so for her birthday, you decided to show up at her house unannounced.

You bought the bus tickets to her city, and you were so excited and happy when you finally arrived at her door. You checked your appearance in your mirror, and when you were ready, you rang the doorbell.

Your heart was leaping with happiness until a very pretty girl opened the door and even gave you a kind smile. You thought she was a relative. You were just about to speak when Ellie appeared behind her and said:

"Who is it, love?"

She said this while wrapping her arm around the girl’s waist. Then she looked up and saw you; her face turned completely pale in shock.
