Romance

Four Years Later, Still Can

by Greencloud

Damian Pierce said we should be a minimalist couple. There was no need for gifts, holidays, and grand gestures.“True love doesn’t need material proof.”My best friend, Sienna Moore, even backed him up. “Exactly. Your husband really gets it. Unlike my ex, who did nothing but shower me with designer bags.”I nodded.We lived that minimalist life for four years. In all that time, I never received a single bouquet of flowers, and not once did he surprise me.On my birthday, he posted a photo of us on his social media with the caption: [Minimalist living. The best gift is simply being together.]The post got over 200 likes. I left a little heart in the comments.Then I came across Sienna’s private account. She had limited-edition handbags, custom-made jewelry, and a room filled with roses.[Someone once said true love doesn’t need material proof, but he insists on proving it to me.]The location was at the presidential suite of a five-star hotel. The date was my birthday.I scrolled through her posts from the past four years. Every single one had been posted on a day that was supposed to belong to Damian and me. Every gift she received had Damian’s taste written all over it.I exited her feed and removed the heart from his post. Just as casually, I ended our relationship.
