I went to the coffee shop and saw Cole with Tiffany. She looked like she was crying. He was listening. She moved to his side. I had a bad feeling. I should just leave, but I had to trust him.

Just as I was about to go in, Cole moved away from her. Then he looked at me. I was calm, but Cole looked shocked. He came to me.

“Ashley.”

Tiffany ran out, too.

“Cole, if you just…”

She stopped. Then, she asked, “Ashley, what are you doing here?” “Are you looking for him, too?” She leaned into him. He ran to me. He looked at me innocently.

“Ashley, I…”

I said, “I’ll see you later.” Tiffany looked mad.

“I underestimated you.”

I said, “I feel the same way.” She looked terrible. I was happy. I had to put myself first.
