Dibs

Sometimes the love weve been waiting forhas been waiting on us all along.

ASPYN BECKETT

Not letting me eat bacon should have been the last strawbut it wasnt. I let a man string me along for nearly ten years, waiting for a ring.

Now Im on the Goodbye Sean Tour: one woman, one suitcase, zero patience for emotional manipulation. Somehow, my exs now-ex-best friend, Deacon Ambrose, has ended up as my unofficial hype man.

I needed a place to stay. He had a spare room. I told myself it was temporary. But somewhere between X, Y, and Z, things started to shift.

DEACON AMBROSE

For nearly a decade, Ive watched the woman I wanted build a life with a guy who didnt deserve her.

Back in college, Sean called dibs like we were choosing teams.

Now Seans gone, Aspyns crashing at my place, and Im out of excuses. Shes here, slowly putting herself back together.

Maybe its not too late after all.
