The Past Is in the Past
As despair settled over me, Zeke pressed a few buttons on his phone, deleting my contact information along with every trace of our past.
I opened my mouth, but no sound came out. I could only watch as it all disappeared.
And then, as if erasing me wasn't enough, he discarded his phone, got down on one knee before Brooke, and pulled out a ring.
"Brooke Fuller, the past is nothing but dust in the wind. Right now, I only want you to be my wife. Will you marry me?"
Dust in the wind? I let out a bitter smile. I could tell it didn't hurt anymore.
