But I knew exactly what he was up to.

Beverly, bless her heart, posted everything on social media.

It was impossible to miss.

Hot springs trips, ocean views, sunrise selfies…

My social media feed was flooded with a completely different Dominic. He could be a normal, loving boyfriend. Just not with me.

I didn’t dwell on their daily adventures; I’d glance, then quickly scroll past.

I wasn’t idle, though.

The apartment was overflowing, and it took days to completely clear it out.

I even squeezed in a trip home, telling my parents I was heading to the lab soon and wouldn’t have much contact with the outside world for a while.

My dad looked surprised. “You’re practically married to Dominic. Won’t you be living apart?”
