When the Lovesick Fool Moved On

My sister and I fought over Preston for over a decade.

But Preston still preferred my talented, accomplished sister.

I threw myself into learning every art form imaginable, desperate for just one glance from him.

At twenty-five, I graduated from Oxford with a degree in Finance.

But when I came home, Preston still pushed my hand away.

"I only love Jade. Stop wasting your energy."

I stood frozen.

My best friend pulled out tissues to wipe my tears.

I dodged them, confused.
