I Replaced My Halfhearted Lover

Summary

At the family’s annual Memorial Day dinner, Chase Reynold told me he was finally going to introduce me to his parents.

I spent three months preparing for that night. Then, I spent an hour waiting in his car outside his family's estate.

When I was finally let inside, the first thing I saw was his mother warmly clutching the hand of a girl in a stunning emerald silk dress.

She smiled brightly at the gathered guests. "Everyone, this is Caroline Belmont. Chase's fiancée. They've officially set the wedding date for Labor Day."

I looked at Chase.

He kept his head down, refusing to meet my eye.
