“You won’t be there?” I didn’t know why my voice sounded desperate. It wasn’t like he’d ever attended just to see me. There was no reason for him to do so now either I supposed. “Keelani Hale, you’re a star. You don’t need me in the crowd. You have your fans, your career, everything you wanted.” With that, he spun on his heel, walked up the aisle, and shoved through the doors. They slammed shut behind him, closing me off from what I thought our relationship could become. I stared at those closed doors for much too long and whispered out later, “Everything I wanted was you.”
