Four years of long-distance. I flew a thousand miles for our concert date.But she gave my ticket to her friend from school, and I watched them walk in, holding hands.
They framed me as a scalper. I was beaten by the crowd. She just stood there, watching coldly, even backing their story.
Afterward, her call was breezy and dismissive. "You're such a good guy, you won't blame me, right? Now be good, fly down to my city, and we'll get married."
I laughed.
Then I turned around, bought a ticket home, and blocked her on everything.
Years later, she returned—a world-famous scientist—and stood before me, demanding I take her back as if it were her right.
I just introduced her to my wife standing beside me and the son in my arms. "I'm sorry," I said. "Have we met?"

The tickets were gone.
After a four-year, long-distance relationship, my girlfriend Ava had suggested we finally meet in the middle, at a reunion concert for The Wanderers. I’d flown a thousand miles to a city I didn’t know, and when I got to the will-call window, the attendant gave me a pitying look. “Sorry, sir. These tickets have already been picked up.”
I figured Ava must have grabbed them. But when I called her, it went straight to voicemail. Again and again. A knot of dread tightened in my stomach.
Dejected, I was drifting toward the main gate when I saw her. She was standing in the security line, her hand laced through the fingers of some handsome, clean-cut guy I’d never seen before.
Something hot and sharp flared in my chest. I walked straight up to them. “Ava?”
Before she could answer, the guy with her shot me a wounded look. His eyes were actually turning red.
“Dude,” he said, his voice cracking with emotion. “I paid you ten times face value for this ticket. What, you think you sold it too cheap? Today’s my one-year anniversary with my girlfriend. I’ll give you another twenty bucks, just leave us alone, man.”
I stared at Ava, waiting for her to clear this up, to laugh it off as a crazy misunderstanding. Instead, she just looked at me, her expression hardening, and backed him up. She let him slander me.
Suddenly, I was the enemy. The crowd around us, smelling blood, turned on me. “Scalper!” someone yelled. “Trying to rip the kid off on his anniversary?” another one shouted. Voices rose, people shoved, and before I knew it, a fist connected with my jaw. Someone kicked me from behind. They were all screaming about calling the cops, about parasites like me ruining everything.
The concert ended hours later. Only then did Ava finally call, her voice breezy and casual, as if nothing had happened.
“That was Ethan, a guy from my program. He just went through a really bad breakup, and The Wanderers are his all-time favorite band, so I just… let him use your ticket. You’re such a good guy, Caleb. I knew you’d understand, right?”
She didn’t wait for an answer. “Anyway, listen! I just have this one summer project left and then I’m done, I graduate. You should book a flight down to Miami, come to campus. I’ll show you around, and then… we can go home together. Go to the courthouse. What do you think?”
“Okay,” I said, my voice flat. “Sounds good.”
Then I hung up and bought a bus ticket. The destination wasn't Miami.
