The next morning, I went through my usual morning routine of cereal, coffee, and internet surfing. Danielle sat across from me with the newspaper. She was the only person I knew under fifty who read a newspaper on actual paper. I much preferred my iPad.

I idly checked Sam’s Facebook page as I sipped my coffee. When I saw the screen, my breath caught in my throat. Instead of the usual wall posts, I saw the generic message “Sam only shares some information publicly.”

“What the hell?” I said, tapping the screen again. I logged out and logged back in, but I still couldn’t see a thing.

“What’s wrong?” Danielle asked around her bite of toast.

“I think Sam just unfriended me,” I said. I tapped the screen again, harder this time—as if banging the screen would somehow shake his posts loose.

“Oh well, his loss,” she said with a shrug.

His loss? No, it was all mine. Sam was the perfect man. I was…only me. I needed him in my life. I couldn’t be whole without him. I simply couldn’t. He was The One. Without him, I’d never be in love again. I’d be lonely for the rest of my life. It would’ve seemed overdramatic if it weren’t the absolute truth.

“Maybe you can send him a friend request for me?”

“Huh?”

“If he automatically accepts friend requests, and I think he does, maybe you could check on him for me every so often and let me know what he’s up to? I promise it won’t be every day or anything like that. I—”

“Oh, hell no,” Danielle said. “I’m not going to help you stalk Sam.”

“Stalking? You make me sound like I’m crazy.”

“You’re not crazy,” she said, “but I can tell you have it bad for Sam. You have to let him go. This isn’t good for you. I’m worried about you.”

“I’m fine,” I said. “It’s not what you think. I mean, yeah, I want to get him back, but—”

“But nothing. Do stuff for yourself. Not for him, and not for any other guy. Only for you.”

I exhaled so the pressure in my head wouldn’t explode my skull. Danielle probably thought she was being helpful, but she could afford to be complacent. She’d already snagged her guy.

I turned on my heel and stomped to my bedroom. Once I was safely ensconced, I cocooned myself in an afghan my mom had made for me in college. The word “stalker” echoed in my head. I was not a stalker. Look at the stalkers in movies. That woman in Fatal Attraction boiled a pet bunny, and other crazy chicks hurt themselves or others in their quests to get a guy’s attention. What were they thinking? Why would anyone want to hurt someone they claimed they loved? It made no sense.

I loved Sam. I would never, ever do anything to hurt him. I couldn’t even imagine threatening him or Momo or anyone else he loved. His happiness meant everything to me. All I wanted was to show him how devoted I was. I wanted him to give me another chance.
