The Plan Behind the Smile
Liam and I dated back in college. We hadn’t kept in close touch, but I remembered him as funny, steady, and—most importantly—loyal.
After Dylan’s reveal, I’d called Liam and told him everything.
“You want me to go to Mexico with you as payback for your cheating fiancé?” he asked.
“Do you still like margaritas?” I replied.
He chuckled. “Send me the itinerary.”
That trip turned out to be more than revenge. We talked for hours, walked the beaches, remembered old times, and admitted things we hadn’t said years ago.
By the end of the week, we weren’t pretending anymore.
A New Beginning
Six months later, Liam moved to my city. That spring, we were married in a small ceremony with only those we loved and trusted.
No drama. No secrets. Just peace.
