You have your choices, and I have my principles.

Summary

When my boyfriend found out I wasn't going to grad school, he was so furious he slapped me.

"Is it because I told your sister to apply to the same program as us?"

I didn't say anything, which he took as a yes.

He laughed, a bitter, angry sound. "Fine. Just fine. I'm trying to help you two mend fences, and you're throwing away your future out of spite!"

"From now on, don't you come crawling back to me!"

I watched him storm out, a small, secret smile on my lips.

He had no idea.
