I lived with Jaxon Gable for three years, and he never once popped the question. I didn't rush him because we were both as broke as a joke. One day, I found a receipt in his jacket pocket. He bought a fancy-schmancy bag that cost more than I made in years. Later, I overheard his friend ask him, "You really gonna keep hiding it from her? You're getting hitched to your fiancée." Jaxon lit a smoke and snickered, "No prob. I'm a pro at acting. Three years, and she didn't catch on." I quietly turned around, tossed the ring I was planning to propose with, and quit my job. On the day Jaxon got married, I hopped on a plane to go abroad. I vanished from his world for good.
