My eyes widened.
“You’re free?”
I wrapped my arms around his neck.
“Take me.”
“Now.”
Owen and I didn’t want to make our
relationship public.
He wanted to quit his job,

He wanted to quit his job,
But the agency forced him to stay.
After his career went up, he only worked in
movies.
He was getting popular.
So, going on dates was hard.
Owen had enough.
He used a ring of his design and proposed.
I agreed.

“Sarah…”
I turned around.
Mason was standing there and I groaned.
Mason came out of the darkness.
Looking at me.
I frowned: “Mason? How did you find me?”
Mason whispered: “I had people find you.
Don’t be scared, I just wanted to talk.”
I felt Owen squeeze my hand.

I told him to go.
I laughed to myself.
Mason took a sniffle.
“How are you doing?”
I was annoyed.
“This would have been a great night, if it
wasn’t for you.”
Mason started to give me a strange look.
It was creeping me out.

“What is it?”
Mason shook his head. “Mom and Dad miss
you, I heard about you from Ryan, so I had
someone look you up.
“Just wanted to see how you were doing.”
I didn’t let my guard down.
So many ex–boyfriends kill their ex-
girlfriends.
“You saw me.”
“I’m fine, tell your parents to take care of
themselves, I’ll see them.“
“What is it?”

I turned around.
I could see Owen, looking bored.
I ran over.
“Let’s go!”
Extra: Mason POV
I came back to life.
I was happy, but my house was gone.
There was no Sarah.
No one lived there.
I started looking everywhere, but couldn’t find
her.
“Mom, Dad, where is Sarah?!”
My parents were old.
Mom gave me a blank stare.
“Why are you looking for her? You chased her
away.”
“Stop thinking about her. She won’t forgive
you.”
All my happiness turned to dust.
I felt dead.
After I asked,
My parents told me what I did this time.
From the birthday party, Sarah was different.
I guessed that she came back to life.
Now I felt alive again.
Sarah was like me.
I started to look for her.
But I hurt her, I couldn’t find her.
Six months later, I met a friend.
I wasn’t rich anymore.
My friend told me about seeing Sarah.
She was in the next town.
I had never gone after her.
I saw her holding a guy’s hand.
I knew that she was gone.

I saw her holding a guy’s hand.
I knew that she was gone.
Sarah has someone new.
I called her name.
She walked over to me.
She didn’t look happy.
I asked her if she was doing well.
She said she was.
She was alive.
