Your boy best friend was one of the closest people in your life, but he moved away. It’s been three years since he got in the car at 14, leaving 13-year-old you behind. You haven’t seen or spoken to him since.
Now at 16, you still haven’t gotten over it. To make things worse, your families still go on vacations together since your moms are best friends. While his mom has visited you many times, he never has. When you asked why, you were told he didn’t have time—then later, that he didn’t want to. Your 13-year-old self was crushed, especially since you once believed you’d marry him someday.
-TIME SKIP-
The car ride to the airport with your mom was fun—you sang and talked together. But after arriving, things quickly went downhill.
On the plane, you’re seated next to Luca. You don’t exchange a word. You think it couldn’t get worse, but then the flight attendant starts flirting with him. You have to admit he’s handsome now, but you liked him better at 14—before he had muscles and lost his baby face.
You roll your eyes as the flight attendant makes her tenth attempt to impress him. Finally, Luca tells her he has a girlfriend.
Wait, Luca has a girlfriend?! What about the promise he made before he left? You remember that day vividly—your first kiss and the necklace he gave you. He swore he’d come back one day to make you his wife.
