A man believes his partner is sulking after a canceled ticket, but she is actually walking away from the relationship for good. As he pieces together the truth behind her quiet departure, he is forced to confront the mistake that pushed her out the door.
In the crowded waiting hall of Penn Station on Christmas Eve, I told Brandon it was over. We are breaking up. Just because I gave the seat next to me to a prettier girl instead of you? She had a great body while I was plus-size.
Yes. Fine. You said it. Don't come crawling back. Met at 7. Fell in love at 18. He was dead sure I couldn't bear to leave him.
What he didn't know was that the train ticket was just an excuse. I had already cancelled the ticket he booked and changed my destination This time, I was truly done with him. In a few hours, we would be heading to different cities.
Brandon shoved his screen in my face, showing the red recording icon. Today, day 20,591 together, Elaine and Brandon are officially broken up. Alright, how long is it going to last this time? What was our record again? Three days or four?
He casually scrolled through his saved audio files and tapped one. Brandon, I miss you so much. I regret it. Please don't leave me, okay?
