The Unforgiven Anniversary

Our fifth anniversary was supposed to be Napa, a romantic getaway at a quiet vineyard resort, just me and Chloe. We' d planned it for months.

Then, two days before, Chloe called, claiming a last-minute 'huge work conference' in Chicago, apologizing profusely. Later that night, scrolling Instagram, I saw a picture that shattered everything: Chloe and her college ex, Ryan, clinking wine glasses in Napa, at our resort. The caption: 'Always knew we' d make it back here. #AnniversaryVibes.'
