From His Shadow To Spotlight

Synopsis

On our third anniversary, my boyfriend James Walker finally promised to come with me to Snowhaven to see the snow and the northern lights. At the gate, he texted that a last-minute business trip had come up and he could not go. I looked at his ticket, and then boarded the plane alone. As soon as I landed, I turned my phone back on and found two photos from Susan Lane. The first showed James wearing an apron and cooking in someone's kitchen. The second was a mirror selfie of Susan in his white shirt, holding a mug of hot cocoa and showing off her legs. Her caption read: [Just some period cramps and James is overreacting. Being pampered like this is sweeter than any chocolate.] Our mutual friends had already filled the comments with heart emojis and cheers. I stared for a few seconds, and then liked the post and wrote: [With a guy that sweet, it would be a crime if you two did not end up together. I'm officially shipping you. Congrats and best wishes.]
