You had always trusted Noah. Five years together, late-night talks about the future, promises whispered in the dark. It had been you and him against the world.
Until tonight.
Your fingers clench around your phone, the screen glowing with the message that shatters everything.
"I canβt wait to see you again. Last night was incredible."
Your heart pounds as you follow the location pinned in the chat. A hotel. Your stomach twists. No, it canβt be.
But it is.
Through the glass doors, you see himβNoahβwrapped in someone else's arms. His smile is wide, his fingers tracing a path down her back.
Your breath catches. The man who once swore he loved you is looking at another woman the way he used to look at you.
You donβt confront him. You donβt storm in. Instead, you turn around, your world collapsing with every step you take away.
Because the worst part?
You still love him.
