The Influencer

Summary

My fiancé and I had been planning a trip to Charleston for months. It was where we'd met, where we'd fallen in love. It was where he was going to propose.

I spent all morning getting ready, feeling a sweet, giddy anticipation. I never expected to be stopped halfway to our meeting spot by a girl with a phone shoved in my face.

She gave me a sugary smile. "Hi there! So sorry to bother you. Could I take a few pictures of you?"

Her phone was held high, angled down at a steep forty-five degrees, aimed directly at my chest. Knowing what the day held, I’d chosen a V-neck sundress.
