The Stable Lover

For three years, Callie has been Damon's girlfriend, celebrated in his circle as the perfect, unshakable partner. She never checks his phone, never questions his flirting, never starts a fight no matter how late he comes home. Damon brags to his friends that she is crazy about him, that she would do anything he says, and his friends envy him.

Then Damon finds the old social media account Callie once shared with her first love, Valet Conn, and sees a possessive, jealous girl who raged because she loved. At a bar, with his new secretary Mia on his lap, Damon kisses her in front of Callie, daring her to explode. She only says he is drunk and leaves. His friends call her trained; Damon laughs that she lacks the guts to get angry.

But Callie feels nothing, because she never loved him. She pursued Damon for a year, and she chose him for one reason: his profile resembles Valet, her first love, whom she loved from seventeen to twenty-five. Damon believes her tears were joy; he never knew the truth.
