Liam, my ex from college, politely shook Jared's hand.
Endings are important. We all try to start our new chapters off on the right foot.
We walked right past, heading to our gate for a real flight. Because yes, this wasn't just a show.
After learning about Jared's secret trip, I called Liam.
We hadn't spoken much in years, but I remembered his loyalty and his sense of humor. I explained the situation to him.
"Okay, let me see if I understand this," she said. "You want me to go with you just to spite your unfaithful fiancé?"
—You still like daisies, don't you?
He laughed. "Send me the itinerary."
Now, sitting on our doorstep, I checked Jared's messages.
—What the hell, Tessa?
“I was going to explain everything.”
“You have just destroyed our future.”
I blocked him.
Cabo turned out to be more than just revenge. Liam and I reconnected. The long talks on the beach turned into deeper conversations, and by the end of the week, we weren't pretending anymore.
Six months later, Liam moved to my city and proposed. We got married in the spring with only close friends and family present.
And Jared? Months later, he sent an email: "Guess your closure worked."
For sure yes.
