He Proposed To Her In The Dress I Paid For

Summary

Four years. That was the tally of our long-distance marathon.

I never once worried that Holden would betray me.

Why would I? My best friend, Sienna, attended the same university as him. She was my eyes and ears, my proxy on the ground. She kept me synced to his life, beat for beat.

Over those four years, Holden came to see me more than two hundred times. Between the flights and the hotels, he must have burned through thirty thousand dollars.

I remember how he used to smile, his hand warm and heavy as he ruffled my hair.
