He Thought I Was Waiting

Six years after splitting up with my ex-boyfriend, Caleb, I ran into him at our college reunion. He publicly announced his engagement to Brianna, a younger alumna from his university.

The entire private room was waiting for me—his ex-girlfriend—to cause a scene.

But I didn't argue or make a fuss. I even gave them a thousand-dollar gift.

Caleb, however, lowered his voice and explained:

"It's been six years—haven't you had enough drama? I'm just helping Brianna handle her parents; once this is over, I'll marry you."
