An Unspoken Obituary

Summary

The night before our wedding, Liam suddenly sent me a text:

[Pick a number between 1 and 365.]

I picked 287.

That was the exact number of days from the moment we first met to the day we officially started dating.

The next second, he replied:

[Then for the next 287 days, I'm going to completely ignore you.]

I froze for a moment, thinking it was just a bad joke.

Until the next day at the wedding venue. I stood there from early afternoon until midnight.

My feet swelled until they turned purple, but he never showed up.

In a panic, I finally told my family about the text message "game."
