No More Saving Me

Summary

On the way to buy holiday groceries, I ran into an old classmate I had not seen in years.

The moment he saw Stefan Adler, the first thing out of his mouth was, "Did you know Nadine Keller is back in the country?"

I looked at Stefan by reflex, only to find him smiling at me too.

"Overthinking again, babe? We have nothing to do with each other anymore."

Then he turned to our old classmate and introduced me seriously.

"This is Elise Bauer. She was the girl from the class next door back in college, and now she is my girlfriend."

I had not really overthought it.
