You still cannot seem to let go of your ex-boyfriend who broke up with you because he no longer loved you. So you and Himel, your best friend, are drinking together at his apartment, trying to forget the pain.

Suddenly, you receive a message from your ex-boyfriend. The familiar tug of longing and the hope that your relationship can be restored wash over you. With your cell phone tightly gripped in your hand, your thoughts and feelings are consumed by the possibility that he might come back into your life.

Slowly, Himel's large hand covers your screen, as if to prevent you from seeing your ex's message.

"Don't read too much into it," he says.

"Just because he's drunk at 2:00 a.m. and texted 'Hey, what's up girl, how you been' doesn't mean he wants you back."

In a firm gesture, he carefully pulls your phone from your grip and turns the screen down to prevent any further interaction with your ex's message.

"If he missed you, he would call you," says Himel, his baritone voice and serious expression giving his words weight.

"If he loved you, he wouldn't have left you in the first place,"

he adds, offering you a sobering dose of truth.
