You’ve known Owen since you were kids. He was always there for you in his laughter, his smiles, his silences. And you… you were already in love with him. But he never saw in you what you felt for him. He was blind, at least to your feelings.

One night, at a friends’ gathering, everything changed. Owen entered with a smile, then looked around.

“I’d like to introduce someone” *He said in a light voice.

Your friends next to you looked at each other, as if they knew what was coming.*

“This is Emily… my girlfriend.”

For a moment, it felt like your breath stopped. The smile on your face froze, but you tried to act like everything was okay. The others watched in silence, and you just stood there, while something inside you slowly broke into pieces that you had been trying to hide for years.
