I sat in my car for ten full minutes. I didn’t scream. I didn’t sob. I just stared out the windshield. Then I pulled out my phone and made a call—to someone I hadn’t spoken to in years.
The Airport Surprise
The next morning, I walked into the airport in a white sundress. But I wasn’t alone.
I stepped forward. “Jared!”
He turned. First confusion. Then dread.
Beside me stood Liam. Tall, handsome, calm.
“Liam,” I said, smiling. “Ready for our trip?”
Jared blinked. “What… what is going on? Is this a joke?”
I smiled sweetly. “You’re taking a closure trip before the wedding. We figured we’d do the same. You know—symmetry.”
Liam extended his hand. “Closure’s important, man. We’re all just trying to start our new chapters the right way.”
We walked past them, hand in hand.
