Chapter

Less than thaty minutes after Aiden leht, Maya sent me a screenshot

was Machson’s Instagram post: Perfect mornin 

say you’re hungry and your crush magically appears with breakfast. I think this 

mde de harming into something real

The phow showed the exact same box of chocolate croissants from my kitchen table

I didn’t reply 

Just silently wiped my tears and knelt down to clean up the spilled boba tea. After scrubbing forever, I realized with frustration that the stain bad soaked deep into the wool carpet fibers. It wasn’t coming out

It a burst of anger. I rolled up the entire carpet and threw it away. It was the one Aiden and his parents had spent an entire afternoon picking out in Nepal and carried back as a gift anyway

While I was at it, I gathered everything Aiden had left at my house, plus every gift he’d ever given me. Even all our photos together Bom prom pictures to casual selfies went into garbage bags

Rock all day to pack up and throw away six years of memories. Not like he’d want any of this stuff anyway

Aber that day, I didn’t hear from him for days. Things must be going well with Madison. Or maybe he was waiting for me to cave first -The I always did during our fights, without exception

But this time. I didn’t reach out

There was no point anymore

I blocked him on everything Instagram, Snapchat, texts, calls. Changed my door code. Deactivated all my social media accounts

After that purge. I called my parents who were away on business. Told them I wanted to spend the summer with Aunt Claire in 

Bustur 

My plan was to stay there until fall, then head straight to Stanford with Maya. Besides her, no one knew I’d switched schools

This way, I could perfectly avoid any chance of running into Aiden

Mom teased me on the phone: Ooh, planning a romantic summer getaway with Aiden?” 

I made up some excuse, not wanting to explain. Just said I missed Aunt Sarah and Grandma

Begged Dad to bock me on the next available flight I needed to leave tonight

But as I was heading out, I ran into Aiden’s mom by our driveways

Brooklyn, sweetie! Where’s Aiden? Isn’t he taking you to Aspen for skiing? He mentioned planning a special trip you have my full blessing 

I was confused

During senior year finals, I had mentioned wanting to go skiing in Aspen, dreaming about a winter getaway

Chapter

But given everything, a romantic trip seemed ridiculous now

Running late for my flight, I mumbled some excuse and hurried off

What I didn’t expect was to see Aiden himself at the airport
