Abstract

The day I ended things with Austin, the final text I ever sent him read:

I’m sorry. I’m with someone else.

He never texted back. Within an hour, every trace of me had been scrubbed from his life, blocked on every platform we shared.

Two years later, on New Year’s Eve, I was pushing my father’s wheelchair through the frozen courtyard of the Birchwood Memory Care Pavilion. We were watching the municipal fireworks erupt over the city skyline.

I turned my head and saw Austin standing less than ten feet away, holding a high-end specialty grocery bag.
