From behind that photo slipped out another one-of him and Sharon.

Jensen froze.

Even through the screen, Jensen could feel her despair.

He instinctively reached out to caress the cold surface of the video, but then heard Natalie’s broken voice say, “So Sharon is really your crush, and I was just the fallback.”

“No! That’s not true! Natalie, it’s not like that!”

Jensen hurried to explain, but what kind of response could he expect from a cold recording?

He watched as Natalie yanked down the paper crane wind chime, smashed it, and swept it away like trash.

A sharp pain tore through Jensen’s chest.

“You knew they were the proof of our love. How could you be so cruel as to throw them away?”
