Betrayed.

If I had to describe my feelings in one word, that would’ve been it. One day had passed since Elena had bailed on me and left me at the restaurant, and for some strange reason, it had been bothering me.

Today was Tiago’s special day, and we were all gathered at the church to prepare for the wedding ceremony, which was only a few hours away. I tried to be on my best behavior, but I was not really excited for the ceremony, the reception, or the after-party.

Many said I wasn’t capable of loving, but I was prepared to open my heart to her, only for her to betray

Elena Torres wasn’t that different from the person I had met in the emails. She was funny, clumsy, innocent and the emojis made so much more sense. I liked her vibe, and I thought we were on the same page about our feelings, so why?
