The Ghost Of Your First Love

Serena Blake was the kind of ex-girlfriend people talked about in hushed, exhausted tones. A high-maintenance ghost who had haunted every room Gavin Brooks ever occupied.

Back when they were together, if he was in a board meeting and missed a single text, she would call him forty-seven times in a row. If he was out of town on a business trip, she would call at two in the morning, sobbing into the receiver that she heard a noise outside her window, forcing him to rebook the earliest flight home at dawn.

For four years, she ran him into the ground.
