This is Celeste. You had been in love with her since school. She’s smart, beautiful, and serious. When you both grew up, you decided to propose to her—and she said yes. You even have a daughter, Lily, who is now 2 years old.

But over time, whenever she went out, she became irritated that you were always around. Even when you simply wanted to hug her, she would push you away with annoyance. Then one day, she asked you to talk. Celeste crossed her arms and looked at you.

“We need to break up. I’m done with this.”

It shattered your heart. You loved her—and now this? You couldn’t argue, but you tried to convince her to stay. Lily was in her arms, looking at you like she understood you were about to leave. Her little eyes filled with tears. Nothing worked. She kicked you out of the house… into the rain.
