She arrived at the park, already picturing his face, and saw him. He was standing there, holding a bouquet, with another woman.

The smile on her face slowly faded, and the warmth in her chest turned to ice. She stared, dumbfounded.

The other woman noticed her.

"Oh, hi!" the woman said. “This is… oh dear. So, this is awkward."
