Chloe finally thinks that she’s gotten a relationship right. She feels loved and happy with Jack. Until one day, she finds a note and a personal keepsake on Jack’s fridge — everything relating to her ex-boyfriend. What is going on, and how does Mike fit into the equation? Walking into Jack’s kitchen, I was floating on cloud nine, completely smitten. I was all ready to cook us a good meal for our dinner date at home. But as my gaze landed on his fridge, my heart stuttered to a halt,There, right in the middle, was a magnet that I had seen before. It was the same magnet from my trip to the Caribbean with Mike,
my ex-boyfriend. I stepped closer to examine it — it was a souvenir, after all, and there were probably thousands of them on fridges. But there, at the top, was a chip I knew it, I thought to myself. It’s the same one. I remembered the chip because it was my fault — I had dropped the magnet as the vendor gave it to me, and I didn’t have the heart to switch it for a new one. But now, here it was, staring back at me.And then, the note beneath the magnet, scrawled in Mike’s handwriting, a private endearment that used to be ours.Love You, Bun!It was a portal to my past. I had met Mike when I was in university. He was a popular jock,playing football while he worked through a degree in business management. I was studying law, and we met by accident, as I stumbled into the wrong lecture theatre in my first year. Through the years, I assumed that we were growing closer and that Mike and I were working toward a long-term, sustainable future. I couldn’t have been further from the truth.
