Marcus has been avoiding me for a month. I’m not giving him a choice anymore. I told him I’ll be at his place after work.

After he canceled our date, I didn’t think anything of it. But he never rescheduled, and he backed out of our Saturday dinners. His messages have become curt, and that’s when he even bothers to send one.

I don’t know what went wrong. I thought we were doing well. I don’t know what brought on his sudden change of heart, but he owes me an explanation.

When I get to his apartment, I knock a few times before I give up. I can’t believe he’s not home. This is not like Marcus at all.

I sit down in front of his door. I will wait him out. There’s no way I’m leaving here without seeing him.

By the time my backside is numb from sitting on the hard floor, Marcus steps out of the elevator.

He looks so tired that I almost forget why I’m here.

He doesn’t bother saying hello as I stand up and wait for him to unlock the door.

He doesn’t open the door, so we can go in and talk. Instead, he looks at me with no emotion on his face.

“I’ve met someone else, Willow.”

Shock vibrates through me, and his callous attitude only makes it so much worse.

“I love her so we can’t see each other, even as friends.”

“You met someone. Just like that?”

I lift my chin, refusing to show him how much he’s hurting me.

“Yeah, it was… sudden.”

I nod slowly. There’s nothing I can say. Marcus deserves to be happy, it just won’t be me making him happy.

“Okay. Why didn’t you tell me sooner?”

His eyes meet mine, and for a moment I see my heartache reflecting in his eyes.

“I wanted to make sure,” he says.

“If you’re sure then there’s nothing I can say,” I whisper, unable to hide the ache spreading through me. “I hope she makes you happy, Marcus.”

I feel like a zombie when I start to walk away. I expected a fight, but not that. Not hearing Marcus is in love with someone else.

“Willow,” he calls after me.

I stop, and as the first tear falls, I keep my back to him.

“Thank you. I know my words will mean nothing now, but maybe one day you’ll remember them.”

I grind my teeth and turn to face him one last time. The tears roll silently over my cheeks, and I take slow breaths so I won’t start sobbing.

“When you give your heart to a man, make sure he deserves it. You are an amazing woman.”

A tear sneaks down his cheek which breaks down the last of my control.

I cover the sob with my hand, and as I turn around, he says, “I love you. I’ll miss you so much.”

I run for the stairs, not wanting to wait for the elevator. I just need to get away from the man who broke my heart for the second time.

“You’ve been wallowing in self-pity for two months now,” Evie says. “Come home, Willow.
