Seven Years of Love, Gone Overnight

For the national championship final, I took time off work and flew halfway across the country to surprise my boyfriend.

I'd barely settled into my seat when the girl beside me started gushing to her friend.

"See his tie? I picked it out for him last night. Good taste, right? He even said I was the inspiration behind his entire Human Emotion Thesis for this tournament."

Her friend gave her a knowing smile. "You actually landed Lucien Grant, the debate star. You should be thrilled."

I froze.

My boyfriend's name was Lucien Grant too.
