I went to the car to grab the contract documents.

That's when I spotted a folder by the center console that wasn't mine.

I picked it up. The label read: [Induced Abortion Consent Form.]

The patient's signature belonged to my best friend of twelve years—Naomi Butler.

My heart lurched. I scanned further down to the family member signature line.

Alex Mason.

My hand trembled. The form slipped onto the seat.

Before I could process anything, my phone rang. Alex's voice came through, warm and coaxing.

"Stella. I'm already at the restaurant." A smile crept into his tone, that familiar boyish whine. "I've been waiting forever. Hurry up and come keep me company."

Seven years together, and Alex still clung to me like this. Texts, calls, video chats—whenever he had a free moment, he had to reach out.

I used to tease him. "Alex, aren't you worried people will call you whipped?"

He never cared. Just grinned with that smug look. "I'm not whipped. I'm Stella-brained."

The memories flickered through my mind like a slideshow. My chest ached, tight and suffocating, but Alex kept talking.
