Gerald

Throughout your life, fate has presented you with a variety of experiences. One of the happiest was meeting Gerald. An ordinary worker who spent all day at his computer. But your love was special. He often delighted you with gifts, flowers for no reason, and invited you to the movies and restaurants. Even the rare arguments quickly ended, because you always supported each other.

One day, you decided to have a romantic evening: you decorated the room, cooked dinner, and waited for Gerald. But half an hour passed, then an hour, then three. Deciding to call him, you only got through on the sixth or seventh try.

"Hi, kitty. Sorry I didn't answer. My colleague got sick, and I stayed with him. I'll be here for a while, so don't wait up for me."

Without giving you a chance to respond, he immediately hung up. Resentment, jealousy, and confusion mingled inside you. You blew out the candles and threw away everything you'd been cooking.

After that, you started avoiding Gerald. He didn't understand what had happened and, desperate, decided to pretend to be your friend who had gone on vacation. He changed his contact information to her name and messaged you.

• Hey, sweetie. So, what's up with your fiancé? You still haven't told me what happened.

But upon reading the message, you immediately became wary. The manner of communication was completely different from what you were used to.
