Matthew didn’t send me more text messages. I stared at my phone screen until it automatically switched off.

While I couldn’t return Matthew’s feelings, hurting him was not my intention. Yet he was hurt both mentally and physically after what had happened.

His birthday fell on Sunday. Helen called and asked if I wanted to attend his birthday party.
