#Chapter 38: A Promise
Abby
The weight of loneliness presses down on me as the pristine table setting lies untouched. The absence
of Adam’s presence burns more than any verbal rebuke ever could. Frustration bubbles within me as I
glare at the untouched plates of food, each dish meticulously crafted to symbolize the deep affection I
hold for him.
“This dam ned evening…” I mutter under my breath.
My fingers tremble slightly as I quickly text Chloe: “Adam didn’t show. AGAIN.”
Before I can even put my phone down, it’s vibrating, and Chloe’s name flashes across the screen. I
take a deep breath and answer. “Hey.”
Chloe wastes no time, her voice thick with worry and frustration. “Abby, what the hell happened? Did he
at least call?”
I sigh, trying to hold back my tears. “I waited, Chloe. Set the table, lit candles, even put on that playlist
he loves. An hour goes by, and nothing. So I called him. And guess where he is?”
Chloe huffs. “Let me guess. The restaurant?”
“Bingo,” I mutter bitterly. “And the best part? He acted like it was just another day. Like he hadn’t
promised he’d be here just yesterday.”
There’s a pause on Chloe’s end before she says, “Abby, how many times are you going to let him do
this? This isn’t what love looks like.”
My voice cra cks a bit as I feel the irresistible urge to defend him, even though I know it’s wrong. “But
we share so much. The passion for food, our dreams… There are moments, Chloe, where everything
feels right. I love him.”
Chloe takes a deep breath, “You remember that one time we tried to bake Leah’s birthday cake, and
we accidentally mistook salt for sugar? On the surface, they looked so similar but tasted worlds apart.
Maybe that’s Adam. Looks right but isn’t good for you.”
I’m taken aback by her words, the truth in them stinging. “I… I don’t know, Chloe. Maybe I’m afraid of
being alone.”
