A Second Shot at Love — Episode 5

My ride's here. You promised we'd celebrate alone. Chase hesitated for a moment, then Mia pulled him away. He glanced back at me one last time. I rolled the window up. Staring at my the rearview mirror, I gave a quiet laugh. I'd imagined so many times how Chase would

react when he saw me after losing weight, yet he didn't even recognize me. back home mom handed me a gift box chase stopped by earlier he left this souvenir for you i looked down it was the letter-shaped chocolate i had liked half a year ago i'd casually mentioned to that alternate account that you could spell out names with this chocolate and i thought it was

really fun. A flicker of foolish hope stirred in my chest. I opened the box, only to find three pieces missing. At the exact same moment, Mia's new post popped up on my social media Three chocolate pieces spelled out M-I-A. Chase's hand rested on her waist, wearing the watch I'd gotten him for his birthday last year.

Her caption read, Someone brought me a gift right off the plane.
