Maya doesn't reply to the unknown message.
But she doesn't delete it either.
She screenshots it.
Zooms in.
Zooms out.
As if the pixels might confess something.
Three weeks later, she sees Lena's engagement photos online.
Not Ethan.
Different man.
The caption reads:
"Sometimes you choose the one who chooses you."
Maya's breath stops.
She scrolls faster.
No Ethan.
No explanation.
Her heart does something dangerous.
Hope.
