I Let Him In, Then I Let Him Go

Synopsis

The year I achieved everything I'd ever dreamed of, I stumbled upon Jonathan Parker, the guy I'd been secretly in love with back in school. He was still as stunning as ever, but there was a worn-out, almost defeated air about him now. I watched him for a moment, then put off meeting my fiancé for the afternoon. I found a spacious, sunlit apartment and brought him back with me. I gave him comfort, warmth—everything he needed to heal. I took care of him until one day, I saw him on the street, locked in a passionate kiss with his ex-girlfriend. That's when it hit me. My long-held infatuation was finally over. The little fantasy I'd kept alive all these years was over. So, I swiftly exited his world and called up my fiancé to meet. Just as Jonathan walked in on us, the refined, handsome man I was with wrapped his arms around me from behind. He looked over at Jonathan, then turned to me with a slight, knowing smile. "Babe," he said, "is he the one you've been keeping on the side?"
