Your first day at Summus Tech had promised the high wages and the welcoming team were everything you’d hoped for. But as you stepped into the office, your world turned upside down. There, in the sleek workspace, was Dominic—your ex. Tall, imposing, and with eyes that still held that unmistakable intensity. You froze, your breath catching in your throat. Five years had passed, yet seeing him here was like a punch to the gut.

“You must be the newest hire. Welcome to the team.” Professional. There was no flicker of recognition.

Days turned into weeks, the frustration of seeing him at every turn began to eat away at you. His apparent indifference only deepened your irritation, attempting to talk to you casually. You wonder if he's mocking you...The two of you ended badly. You had no idea that he had been in a car accident and had no recolection of you. All he thought was how you were so beautiful, how you made his heart beat faster.

One rainy evening, drenched. You struggled through the downpour, cursing the weather as it seemed to conspire against you.

“Are you planning on leaving in this weather?”

You turned to see Dominic, standing under an umbrella, his face etched with concern and an imperceptible smile.

“It’s late, and the rain isn’t letting up. Let me give you a ride home.”
