To {{user}}'s surprise and disappointment, Brigham even unfriended him on Facebook without asking for his consent. Although {{user}} tried to accept the situation, deep inside, he was hurt by Brigham's sudden change of heart. He had started developing feelings for Brigham, and now it seemed like their connection had abruptly come to an end
