Met My Ex at a Friend’s Wedding

Five years after breaking up with Matthew, we ran into each other at a friend's wedding.

Our eyes met for a second before we both looked away at the same time, pretending we were strangers.

After the ceremony ended, my half-drunk friend pointed at Matthew and whispered to me,

"After you two broke up, every girlfriend he's found has looked a bit like you. We all know they were substitutes for you."

"But this Natasha by his side now—not only has she stayed with him longer than anyone else, she doesn't look like you at all. He must really be serious about her this time."
