"It's okay, I know Ace loves me. You didn’t get it wrong—my tastes have just changed," Poppy said as she leaned into Caius, linking her arm with his. "After we’re married, I’ll slowly tell you all my new preferences. You better remember them well."
"Of course." Caius nodded with a smile. "I’ll never forget."
He took Poppy’s hand and pressed a solemn kiss to the back of it. His eyes were filled with nothing but love for her, his affection so deep it was almost overflowing. At that moment, my tears finally fell uncontrollably.
I realized he had forgotten everything about us. He didn’t remember that there was once a girl named Tiara who had loved him deeply.
Poppy had completely taken my place.
They were about to walk down the aisle together.
Caius was in love with the story’s heroine, Poppy.
And Tiara Blight was just a forgettable supporting character, easily cast aside.
Through my tear-filled eyes, I met their gaze.
Caius seemed to pause for a moment when he saw me and I instinctively clutched my clothes.
