She truly didn’t want James to be stuck in guilt over disappearing without a word. So after saying she didn’t blame him, she quickly changed the subject.

“James, I was seriously awesome today. Can you guess what I did?”

Watching the text bubble bounce across the screen, James could almost picture the girl resting her chin in her palm, brimming with pride.

The storm of pain and self–loathing on his face began to dissolve. He gently traced his fingers across her message, and slowly, the sharpness in his eyes softened.

“I beat up my ex–boyfriend’s crush today.

“I slapped her seven times. It felt amazing.”

“James, aren’t I incredible?”

Ex–boyfriend.

Those two words hit James like a freezing wind.

He hadn’t expected that she had once loved someone–truly loved them.

Bitterness spread like wildfire beneath his ribs, pulling tight across his chest. It hurt even to breathe.

But… it was her ex–boyfriend.

James had never confessed his feelings to her–not before he fell into a coma, not even after. And in the four and a half years he was gone, he had no right to expect her to remain alone.

Still, from now on–he hoped the man beside her would be him.
