I Finally Gave Up Loving You

Grief and despair consumed me as I navigated Julia's funeral. Then, a delayed text message from Jeremy arrived.

It revealed that as Julia breathed her last, Jeremy was lost in the cosmos with his first love, Wendy Roberts, gazing at the stars.

His words stung. "Asthma attacks won't kill, but it would be a shame for my beloved Wendy to miss the stars tonight."

Little did Jeremy know that the phone hadn't disconnected.
