Only an old friend leaned in close to my ear and whispered, "Did you plan this as part of some publicity stunt?"
I chuckled bitterly, tossing the printed resignation letter onto the ground. “Hype or not, it doesn’t matter—I’ve already been dumped.”
The words left my old friend momentarily speechless.
“What do you mean?” he finally asked.
Without offering further explanation, I turned and walked away. In the world of adults, some things are better left unsaid.
Lindsay Logan and I had been together for years, yet she had never once shown any intention of making our relationship public. Whenever anyone speculated about us, she would immediately dismiss the rumors.
But today was different. She hadn’t denied the whispers about Nigel. Her silence spoke volumes.
I knew Nigel was her first love, her Nigel Mayer—the one she’d never truly let go of. Rather than waiting for her to admit it, I decided to walk away with whatever dignity I had left.
But not everyone shared my sentiment.
