The morning sun felt warmer than usual against Oliver's skin. Last night, the laughter with Chloe was unmatched. He couldn't stop thinking about her witty banter, the chemistry. She had a way of making him feel like the only person in the world. He felt an urge to skip.

He needed to get a gift for her. As he walked into the flower shop, he spotted Chloe already there. She was talking animatedly to a man. Chloe noticed him and waved. "Oliver! What a surprise! I'm just helping Mark pick out some flowers for his mother." Oliver's eyes widened.

Mark turned, and Oliver recognized him instantly. They’d been at the same gym. Mark smiled, but the smile quickly faded. "Oliver?" he said, sounding bewildered. The vibrant feeling that had coursed through Oliver a moment ago vanished, replaced by an unsettling ache.
