She Promised Her Boyfriend She’d Wait Two Years — Then a New Man Made Her Question Everything
Chapter 10
Caleb left first.
New York.
One suitcase.
One camera.
A thousand plans.
Sophie hugged him at the airport.
“You better become famous.”
He laughed.
“You better become impossible to forget.”
Julian received an offer in Copenhagen.
He planned to leave after the semester.
Sophie accepted her fellowship.
One year abroad.
Three people.
Three directions.
They met one final time before leaving.
Caleb raised his coffee.
“To terrible timing.”
Julian laughed.
“To terrible decisions.”
Sophie smiled.
“To surviving both.”
Later, Julian walked her home.
“I need to tell you something.”
“What?”
“I love you.”
She stopped.
His expression was calm.
He wasn’t asking for anything.
“I don’t want you to choose me.”
Sophie looked at him.
“Then why tell me?”
“Because I’m tired of hiding the truth just because the timing is inconvenient.”
She smiled sadly.
“Thank you.”
