When His Childhood Sweetheart Came First

Synopsis

"The day I went home with my boyfriend, Adam Bennett, for his sister's engagement party, he left his phone at the airport security checkpoint. The staff asked someone traveling with him to unlock it for verification. I had barely reached for it when his childhood friend, Vivian Lane, rattled off the six-digit passcode. The screen lit up. His sister laughed. ""Emmy, your girlfriend knows you better than you do. She's got nothing on Vivi."" His cousin took the phone, then handed it straight to Vivian. ""Vivian, you should hold onto Adam's phone. You've always been the one who keeps track of his stuff."" Adam kicked him. ""Cut it out."" Nobody thought there was anything strange about it. After we cleared security, Adam couldn't open his suitcase. Vivian gave them the code again. One of his childhood friends bought coffee and handed it to her. ""Keep an eye on Adam. Don't let him drink it on an empty stomach."" Adam's sister pulled out some motion sickness pills and handed them to Vivian too. ""He only listens to you."" In the end, Adam even shoved the document holder with his ID and boarding pass into Vivian's bag. ""Keep this for me."" Only then did Vivian look at me. ""Emmy, you're not going to get the wrong idea again, are you?"" Adam's sister laughed. ""It's been seven years. She's used to it by now."" I smiled too. In the past, whenever I heard things like that, I'd rush to prove I wasn't bothered. This time, I said nothing. I lowered my head, opened the ticket app, and changed my return flight to tomorrow. "
