His Roommate Poisoned His Mind Just To Steal Me Away

Summary

I flew to Metropolis for Owen’s birthday. I wanted to surprise him.

Pushing the apartment door open, I stepped into a noisy, chaotic, takeout-fueled party.

The awkward silence that followed my arrival was deafening.

Everyone left shortly after, the good cheer evaporated.

We started fighting.

He accused me of making a scene in front of his friends, of deliberately embarrassing him.

I was defensive, trying to explain the sheer exhaustion of flying back and forth every other weekend.
