Trapped in That Autumn

Summary

The summer after graduation, Ethan coaxed me into bed.

After that first taste, he became insatiable, tangling his life with mine for seven long years. My friends all laughed at how completely whipped he was.

"Just marry him already," they'd say. "The guy would literally die for you."

Then, one night, I stumbled upon his secret blog.

Thousands of posts, an endless scroll of sick, obsessive devotion. All for a girl in a white dress, delicate and beautiful.

His untouchable first love.

And I finally understood. For seven years, he'd given me his body, but he'd given his love to someone else.
