Before my boyfriend Evan died, he asked his best friend, Adrian Vale, to look out for me. Adrian and I leaned on each other for six years, surviving our shared grief, until one accidental night when we ended up in bed together. The next day, I went to his apartment to clear the air. But when I opened the door, I found him holding another woman in his arms. Seeing me walk in, Adrian immediately grabbed his shirt and draped it over her shoulders. "Narcissa, why are you just walking in here?" I turned around, desperate to escape, but Adrian called out to stop me. "Narcissa, I have a girlfriend now. It's not appropriate for you to have a key anymore. Leave it." I placed the key on the table and walked away. Back at my own apartment, I dialed my friend's number. "Marcus, that design fellowship in Paris you mentioned? I've decided to take it."
