He Doesn't Deserve to Know
A 50-word story
Jul 20201 min read3 views

For the first time in a while, I’m happy. As I admire my engagement ring, the phone rings. It’s my ex. “Just checking on you,” he says. “I’m doing just fine.” I want to talk about my fiancé, to rub it in, but I won’t.
He doesn’t deserve to know.
Inspired by the song “Stay High” by Brittany Howard. The line I chose was: I’m doing wonderful, just fine, thank you.
