While I'm right here, trying to weave through my asthma attack, he’s right there dancing with her.

His eyes are glued to her, failing to sparea single glance, even though my chest is heaving up and down and

| can barely breathe.

I've been in love with Antofor eight years now. And for a while it felt like he was in love with me. But

everything changed when that woman showed up.

He immediately snatches it away from my grasp. “It’s not for you.”

I nod, keeping all my emotions at bay until he reaches the corner of the road. “Pull up over here, please.”

“What for?” he asks, but | don’t answer him. | just head to the shop in the distance.

A few months ago, | decided to have a wedding dress custom- made for me. But now, | don’t think | have any use

for it. | just need to have the whole thing canceled and destroyed.

But just as | walk into the shop, Antofollows me.

He shoves my coat on my face, shouting, “Why do you always leave your stuff, Grace? I'm tired of picking up

after you.”

Antois a neat freak. He doesn’t like when | leave sof my stuff in his car.

But | look at the coat he tries to give me, and I notice something. “That's not my coat.”

His irritation vanishes at once. He picks it up, his expression now considerably softer than when we started

talking.

| know that it’s because the coat belongs to Cecilia Smith.

Every tshe leaves something in his car, it only leads to a big fight betweenand Antonio. This time,

however, it doesn’t lead to anything at all. | don’t feel the need to complain

anymore.

| just approach the desk and smile at the lady. “HI, I'm the one who cin for a custom design.”

“Perfect!” the lady says. “Your wedding dress and the suit are both done. You can try them on now. | can reserve

a showroom for both of you.”

| open my mouth to say no, but Antois already heading inside with a grumpy expression.

| have no choice but to try on my dress. After changing into it, I head out to look at myself in the mirror. Antonio

is there, watching me.

He frowns. “You don’t look good in white.”

Ignoring him, I turn to the lady and hand her my phone. “Can you take a picture of us?”

He grumbles, walking towardsas the lady gets ready to snap a picture. But just as the lady is about to click,

his phone rings with that special ringtone.

The ringtone for Cecilia.

He answers without walking away, his mood already visibly improved. “Hello. Is everything okay?”

“I need my coat,” she says sweetly. “Oh, if you can just give it back to me, | would owe you.”

“I'll be on my way” he says.

“I can just kiss you right now!” she says before they hang up.

Without looking at me, he leaves, still in his suit. | hear his car roaring away. My heart breaks. | take a deep

breath and reach for the scissors in the corner, tearing a huge chunk off my wedding dress.

| just take a hot shower and go to bed, immediately falling asleep.

The next morning, as | was on my way out to dumb my trash, | run into Antonio. He's marching towards my

apartment with an angry expression.

“Is your phone broken or something?”

| shake my head. He lets out a breath. | know why he’s upset. It's because | used to call him nonstop when he

goes out late, and last night, | just slept.

He barges into my apartment, looking around like he’s expecting to see something. Then, he notices my wall.

“Hold on. We used to have a picture here. Where did you put it?”

Antonio’s glance falls on the trash bag on the floor. | open my mouth to tell him that I've thrown it away, his

phone rings.

He smiles and starts a voice message. “Hold on, Cici. I'm going to see you right away. | still have your coat.”

Strangely enough, he doesn’t leave immediately. He just watchesas | bring the trash out and cback. I'm

tired, since | haven't eaten dinner or breakfast, so | grab the toast after | wash my hands.

As | eat it, | notice that he’s watchingin disgust.

“Are you really that hungry?” he asks. “Why do you need to shove it all in there?”

He grabs the rest of the toast and shakes it into the bin. I watch him, mouth agape. The audacity is killing me.

“I cooked for you for eight years,” | say, “but | can’t even have my full breakfast in peace without you making a

big deal about it?”

Antofixesa cold glance. “I own this house. | make the rules. You didn’t even askbefore you ate it. You

simply have no manners.”

Shaking his head, he puts on his jacket and storms lout, leavingto face another round of coldness.

But what else is new?

| sit down, opening my socials and seeing that Antoadded a picture to his wall.

It's a photo of Cecilia wearing cat-ears.

| place a like on it, just so he knows | saw it.

Then | get ready for work.

During my lunch, | decide to meet with a property manager to assess the apartment. But as soon as | walk in,

the first thing | see is Antoand Cecilia sitting and smiling at each other.

| sigh. | totally forgot about the fact that we all work in the same

company.

Cecilia has her back turned to him, her hair down while he’s trying to gather it all up into a ponytail.

When she sees me, she immediately pouts, turning toand saying, “Grace, look at Antonio! He's been

messing with my hair all day. | mean, how much longer can he do this?”

Before | can say anything, Antowraps his arm around her neck like he’s playing wrestling with her. “Liars are

not welchere!”

Cecilia blushes. Antofinally turns around to faceand says, “Good thing we all met up here, even if it's a

coincidence. Why don’t we all have lunch together?”

This is the first the invitedfor lunch, even though | know for a fact that he and Cecilia go to lunch

everyday together.

But | just smile. “I can’t join you today. I'm in the middle of something. | hope you enjoy, though.”

Antonio’s smile slides right off his face. He looks at me, and | know he doesn’t expect that. But just shrug and

leave, only for them to joinin the elevator.

The thing moves, but then it sputters and turns dark. | let out a gasp and Cecilia screams. The elevator just

malfunctioned.

I hurriedly open my flashlight, only to see Antoholding Cecilia in his arms. She’s shaking like a damsel in

distress, and even when the power comes back on, she still softens.

And with that, she faints.
