One Dream Made Me Cancel Our Wedding

Synopsis

When I told Samuel I wanted to break up, he had just sent me the wedding plan he'd painstakingly put together. His helpless, bitter laugh crackled through the phone. "Is this still about that dream? Julia, that's really not fair to me." My voice was calm, clipped. "Let's just tell our families." I hung up on his next calls, packed my things, and left. But Samuel, who was supposed to be on a business trip, showed up and blocked my way. "Julia, we've known each other for 20 years. Don't you know me by now? It was just a dream. Not like I actually cheated. And if it makes you feel better, I've already cut off contact with every other woman. What more do you want?" he said. I instinctively stepped back. "Nothing. I just want to break up." Because it wasn't a dream. It was a future I could never change.
