Day one, Vanessa sent a photo of Trent peeling shrimp for her; I burned all our photos in a brazier.
Day two, Vanessa sent a photo of Trent kissing her under a sycamore tree; I had the sycamore trees in the backyard
cut down.
Day three, Vanessa showed me the sweet nothings Trent said on her live stream; I found the hundreds of love letters Trent had written to me.
They were yellowed with age, but the
words were still clear. I touched the words,
then mercilessly fed them into a shredder.

On the day I left, I woke up to see Trent standing by the bed. He held my
phone, his expression serious.
“Honey, you received a text message saying it’s all taken care of. What did you
do?”
My heart skipped a beat. I grabbed my phone and turned it on. It was the confirmation message for my identity
cancellation. Luckily, my phone was password–protected; Trent wouldn’t
know what it was.
I calmed down. “Nothing. One of my social media accounts was hacked. I had
someone get it back.”
Trent relaxed, hugging
me.“Sweetheart, guess what I bought you?”
