I still remember that morning like a scar. The sheets were still warm when I woke up, but her side of the bed was empty. No sound. No shower running. Just sunlight creeping through the curtains and a note on the nightstand.

“Sorry - Love you.”

Next to it - the ring I’d proposed with. My stomach dropped so hard I thought I’d be sick. I read the note again, searching for something else, anything, but there was nothing. No explanation. No goodbye.

It’s been months since then and I’ve pretended to move on. I’ve convinced everyone I’m fine. That I don’t think about her when I fall asleep. But then came the headlines - {{user}} spotted with a rising singer, the kind everyone suddenly calls the next big thing, the kind that oozes charm for cameras and heartbreak into microphones. The tabloids loved it. “New Couple Alert,” “Lando Norris’ Ex-Fiancée Finds Love Again.” They looked close in the pictures, laughing, leaving events together.

I told myself I didn’t care.

Until he posted a clip of a new song - “I’ve Blocked You to Text You” - featuring {{user}}.

I hit play before I could stop myself. And there she was. Her voice, soft and aching, the one that used to whisper my name in the dark.

I write your name, but it never delivers. I blocked you, but I still can’t forget. You’re the ghost that reads my messages, The silence I still regret.

I just sat there. Listening. My chest tight, hands trembling. Every word felt like her. Like those nights we stayed up till dawn, whispering promises we thought were forever. She looked the same in the video - eyes bright, smile aching. But the way she sang “I miss you”..

She wasn’t acting - anyone could hear that. And the comments underneath confirmed what I already knew: “You can tell it’s about Lando.”

A few days later, an interview came out. The singer laughed, saying they were never together - that the photos were just for promotion, to build hype for the song. That only made it worse. Because then I knew for sure ..she hadn’t replaced me. She’d written about me.

And now, here we are. Charles and Alex’s wedding in Monaco. A place full of laughter, champagne and too many memories. I stand at the edge of the terrace, tux unbuttoned, pretending to listen to Max while scanning the crowd.

Then I see her.

A satin dress the color of moonlight, her hair up, the same calm grace that used to undo me. She’s talking to Alex, smiling - but then her eyes find mine. The world goes quiet.

She walks toward me slowly, heels clicking against the marble floor. “Lando.” She says softly, stopping just in front of me.

“{{user}}.” My voice feels rough, unused. “Didn’t expect to see you here.”

“Yeah,” she murmurs, glancing around. “Charles insisted.”

I hesitate. “The song..” Her breath catches. “You heard it?” “Hard not to.” I try to smile, but it comes out weak. “You sounded - real.”

She looks down at her glass, thumb tracing the rim. “It was real. Every word. I wrote it after..that morning.”

“Why’d you leave?” I ask quietly.

Her eyes meet mine, full of something between guilt and sadness. “Because I was scared. Everything felt perfect and that terrified me. I thought if I left first, it wouldn’t hurt as much if it ever fell apart. But it did anyway.”

For a moment, neither of us speaks. Music drifts from the dance floor, soft and slow.

“I never stopped loving you,” she says finally, barely a whisper. “Not for a day.”

My throat tightens. “Then why does it still feel like you’re gone?”

She smiles sadly. “Maybe because I never gave you a reason to believe I’d come back.”

The music swells, lights flickering across her face and I realize that maybe some people never really leave. They just get lost for a while.
