You Shipped Me Off I Married Your Boss Chapter 25
Brian’s hands shook as he opened the boxes.
Some items took a moment to place.
Then the memories hit. Waves. Crushing.
Her first Chanel flap bag.
Her first pearl necklace.
The keys to her first MINI Cooper.
A velvet box stuffed with gemstones in every color.
And at the bottom: the pink diamond ring.
Brian cradled the little gray velvet box.
His vision blurred.
“Brian. When are you going to marry that little shadow of yours?”
His friends used to tease him.
He was young then. Cocky. Arrogant.
Girls chased him, but none of them were worth a second glance.
But Skylar at seventeen, eighteen—she was beautiful. Fresh as a peach.
He’d take her out and watch the envy roll off every man in the room.
He loved it. Because that gorgeous girl only had eyes for him.
Back then, he’d wanted to marry her.
He’d known for a long time that he would.
That’s why he gave her the pink diamond ring.
So when did he start getting tired of her?
When did the novelty of strangers start winning over a lifetime?
Was it that he’d truly stopped caring?
Or was it just that he’d been so sure she’d never leave?
Brian gripped the ring.
And for the first time in years, tears slid down his face.
Absurd. Pathetic.
