Story

The story

Chloe has spent eight years building a life with Leo, supporting him through his PhD while her own career flourishes. On a business trip, she opens his private Instagram and finds a post: a photo of a young woman named Lily, captioned as his biggest regret. By the time she checks again, the post is gone. Her best friend Megan calls with photos of Leo grocery shopping with Lily, then taking her into the condo Chloe and Leo just bought together.

Chloe finishes her trip, wins a major contract and a promotion, then flies home to San Francisco. Leo never answers her calls. At the condo, she finds Lily's father asleep on their new white sofa and Lily stepping out of the master bathroom in her pajamas, wearing Chloe's slippers. Leo, who never cooked in eight years, has made a full dinner.

When Chloe books Lily's father a hotel, Leo accuses her of overreacting. Lily and her father bow and apologize, preparing to leave, while Leo insists Chloe does not mean it.

Opening excerpt

On the third day of my business trip, I idly opened my boyfriend’s private Instagram account.

He had posted something new just a few seconds earlier.

**“Biggest regret in life might be meeting the girl you want to take care of forever, right before you’re supposed to get married.”**

The caption was paired with a candid shot of a young woman in a floral sundress.

Her name is Lily. She’s my boyfriend’s classmate from his undergrad days.

Sweet, innocent, and ten years younger than me.
