I bought the tickets, but James switched the passenger to her. Two first-class tickets from Beijing to Paris. I spent three months saving up. It was all there in black and white on the airline app. Operator: James. Change: Emily to Sophia. His phone was still charging by the pillow. The screen lit up. A notification popped up. The contact was saved as a heart emoji. The message read: "Did you change the tickets?" I stared at those words. Then I looked at his suitcase. His suitcase was already packed. There were two toiletry bags inside. One blue, one pink. The pink one was brand new. The tag was still attached. A sticky note was tucked under the tag. The handwriting wasn't his. It was a woman's handwriting. The letters were rounded, with a little heart drawn next to them. It said: "Thank you, honey."
