Echoes in the Snow: The Scars He Left, The Life I Found

I was sick and hospitalized, and my boyfriend was running himself ragged taking care of me.

The older woman in the neighboring hospital bed quietly asked me when the two of us were getting married.

I just smiled, shook my head, and didn't say a word.

He had no idea that I saw his phone. I saw that he had linked his gaming account as an "in-game couple" with a girl saved as CeeCee.

I saw it last night, right when he forgot to lock his screen before turning around to pour me a glass of water.
