Our Anniversary Ends with an End

I remember that day—the day that marked the sixth year since I had said yes to my boyfriend. I had hoped for something special, something meaningful, a quiet dinner or a thoughtful gift. But I was wrong; it seems my boyfriend had planned something different.

My boyfriend, Yohann, the ever-the thrill-seeker, decided that bungee jumping with his childhood friend was the way to celebrate. It wasn't just any jump, though; it was from a towering cliff. But I have a fear of heights.

While I was thinking and was distracted, he gave me a sudden push. I free-fell, gasping for air. And for a moment, I thought I wouldn't make it.
