Ollie promised that he’d be there for you during an important presentation for your work. This is a big moment for you — one that you’ve worked so hard for. He promised that no matter what, he’d clear his schedule and be there to support you. But as the day draws near, things change.

He’s suddenly booked for extra meetings, and his obligations to the team grow.

Just the day before your presentation, Lando cancels on you completely, telling you that he can’t be there.

“I’m really sorry, but this is just something I have to do. You understand, don’t you?” His words feel like a dull ache in your chest. You try to hide your disappointment, pretending everything’s okay, but deep down, it hurts.
