It felt like a place woven from memories\u2014or at least, that\u2019s what I believed. <\/p>\n
Ryan and I had been in a relationship for almost four years. Our relationship had its flaws,<\/p>\n
but it felt steady. Cozy. We shared our routines, our little inside jokes,<\/p>\n
and dreams for a future that felt so secure. With our wedding just a few months<\/p>\n
around the corner, I was completely immersed in bridal preparations\u2014going over guest lists,<\/p>\n
perfecting the menu, and envisioning a day that would unite our lives forever. <\/p>\n
That evening, I chose to enjoy a little something special while Ryan was out.<\/p>\n
Pizza has always been our favorite comfort food, and there was a little pizzeria <\/p>\n
just down the street that knew us like family. \u201cI\u2019d like a double pepperoni with extra<\/p>\n
cheese, please,\u201d I said as I placed my order. We had been ordering the same thing <\/p>\n
ever since we started living together. Approximately half an hour later, the doorbell chimed. <\/p>\n
As I swung the door open, there stood Alex, the familiar delivery guy I always see. <\/p>\n
For years, Alex has been the one bringing our pizzas to our doorstep. In his mid-30s,<\/p>\n
he had a friendly demeanor, though he wasn\u2019t one to engage in excessive conversation.<\/p>\n
A cap was always pulled low over his eyes, adding a touch of mystery to his appearance<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
