He Changed Our Honeymoon for His First Love, So I Left

The night before our honeymoon, Miles Henson canceled the tickets to the Arctic without warning and switched our trip to Egypt.

The text notification came through while I was still in the department store picking out cold-weather gear.

Before I could even ask him about it, Miles called first, his voice carrying its usual chill.

"Julia says she likes the sun. The Arctic's too cold. It doesn't suit her."

I looked down at the winter clothes I'd just paid for and fell silent.

Julia Roman. My cousin. And Miles's first love.
