The Architect of Her Own Fate

Summary

At the ten-year high school reunion.

My deskmate suddenly asked me: "Do you still hate Lucas for suddenly changing his college choice and leaving you alone in Boston?"

I smiled and swirled the wine in my glass:

"I stopped hating him long ago. If I hadn't gone to Boston alone, I wouldn't have abandoned my love-struck brain to focus on my studies and successfully get my Master's."

I casually revealed the ring on my finger: "I'm getting married next month. Everyone is welcome to come. Honestly, I have to thank him."

As soon as these words came out, the private room fell silent.
