Table for One: I’m Done Being Your Second Choice

My boyfriend’s assistant posted on Instagram.

Her caption read: "I mentioned how boring rainy days are, and he booked a flight right away."

The attached photo showed Ethan smiling, leaning across a candlelit table to put food on her plate.

It brought back memories.

Last winter, when I was burning up with a 102.5°F fever, I called him and asked if he could come over. He said it was too far and that we’d talk tomorrow.

Last month, I told him I wanted to see the ocean. He said, "Let’s wait for Memorial Day weekend. I promise I’ll take you then."
