Seven Years of Love, Gone in an Instant

At Nolan’s birthday party, I called off our engagement.

He only offered a faint, dismissive smile.

But his friends immediately erupted into loud laughter.

"Since when did you learn to play hard to get, Audie?"

One of the guys winked at Nolan’s childhood sweetheart, Hailey. "Princess, your turn to shine."

Hailey rolled her eyes playfully, walked over to me, and smiled. "Audie, don't say things in anger. How did Nolan annoy you this time? Tell me, I’ll beat him up for you."
