The dead of night found me wide awake, itching to revisit those photos Matt had snapped of me modeling wedding dresses earlier. But instead of our happy memories, my fingers stumbled upon something far more sinister - a string of gut-wrenching texts lighting up his screen.
"Nina, I'm getting married soon."
"Seven years... I guess it's time to move on."
"I wish it was you trying on wedding dresses with me today."
I'd spent the entire day drowning in tulle and satin before collapsing into bed exhausted. When I jolted awake hours later, my hand automatically reached for Matt's warmth beside me - only to find cold sheets. The shower's rhythmic patter filled the silence as my stomach let out an angry growl the moment I kicked off the covers, like the duvet had been containing my hunger all along. Poor Matt had passed out even faster than me - he was probably starving too. I grabbed my phone and ordered our usual massive dumpling feast before tossing it aside.
That's when I noticed Matt's phone glowing in the dark. Punching in his passcode (our anniversary date), I eagerly scrolled through today's photos. My lips curled into a smile seeing myself in various bridal gowns, but the real treasure was catching Matt's reaction when I'd first stepped out. The way his breath hitched, his eyes turning glassy as they drank me in. He'd stood frozen for what felt like eternity before finally croaking, "God, Lily... you're actually marrying me." I could still feel my heart pounding against my ribs just remembering it.
I was about to lock his phone when the screen suddenly illuminated with a new message: "Matt, I'm coming back to the States." My thumb hovered. I'd never been the snooping type - always trusted Matt implicitly. But some primal instinct made me tap the notification. The thread contained just a few exchanges, with Matt's recent messages staring back at me like accusations:

Matt: "Nina, I'm getting married soon."
Matt: "Seven years... I guess it's time to move on."
Matt: "I wish it was you trying on wedding dresses with me today."
Nina's delayed response about returning to America hit me like a sucker punch, sending my stomach into freefall.
