With her hand in his, he dropped to a knee and slipped a ring on her finger.Not just any ring—a giant diamond that glittered in the sun and competed with the radiant glow on Jamie’s face for attention.
Murmured gasps of surprise rippled through the crowd.
“We’re getting married!”she squealed.
The backyard erupted into laughter, cheering, and someone even crying.Everyone was in motion all at once.
Everyone but me.
I couldn’t move.Couldn’t fucking breathe.
All I could do was watch from the sidelines as my life fell apart all over again, the last vestige of hope ripped right out from under me.
Jamie.My princess.The mother of my child.She was getting married, but not to me.
I needed to go.To be alone in my agony.I couldn’t stand to watch the woman I’d loved for half my life move on and leave me for good.
The game was truly over.
And I was definitely not the winner.
