Love's Ash

On the day of our wedding anniversary, I stumbled upon an unusual display of azure-colored pyrotechnics on Abigail's secondary Instagram profile.

The accompanying text stated: [Fireworks may be temporary, but our bond is everlasting.]

Through a live broadcast, I caught snippets of their dialogue.

"Who do you prefer, me or your spouse?"

"You, without a doubt," Simon, my husband, promptly replied.

Shortly after, the post vanished, and Simon initiated a video call to showcase the fireworks in real-time.

"Happy anniversary! I arranged this surprise just for you!"

His words left me feeling hollow inside.

After concluding the call, I calmly dialed another number. "Brian, I've decided. I'm going to take that overseas job offer."
