Junior Year, Second Semester

The first sign of trouble between West and Bethany came at a bonfire in the desert. A guy I’d just met had his hand on my knee when their fight started, and by the time he leaned in for a kiss, the ice coming off both of them was enough to douse the fire.

The second sign was at a game night in January. I watched the couple have an entire silent fight with their eyes over a game of Cards Against Humanity because West wasn’t picking her cards to win.

The third time is when I’m sitting on the floor in West’s room, scrolling through Facebook instead of writing, and I see that Bethany has posted an old picture of them with a long caption about how much she loves him—aka the relationship death rattle.
