My Love for You Is Gone

On the day of our graduation trip, my girlfriend suddenly went silent for half an hour.

I didn't hear from her until just before I went through security.

"Nicholas, you go ahead and board. Blake and I got upgraded to first class at the last minute. You know his back isn't great. He'll be uncomfortable in economy."

Blake Walker was my younger brother in name, and every trip was the same.

Whether we flew or took the train, Tiffany Spencer always made sure he got a first-class or business-class seat, while I was left squeezed into economy or a regular train seat.
