"Michael, where’s Jim?" She had praticed all weekend how to tell him. "I called off my wedding. I’m in love with you, too."

"You didn’t hear, Pam-o-rama? Jimbo got transferred to Stamford. His last day before Australia was his last day ever. Ughh. I mean, seriously, what does Josh have that I don’t? Did I do something to make him leave?"

The words played through her mind as Michael kept on talking. Transfer, Stamford, Australia, Last Day, Ever.

She was the one who did something to make him leave, she thought. She lied to him. She told him she was going to get married.

"Excuse me," she said to Michael as she left for the stairwell, praying that the tears wouldn’t start falling until she was out of his sight.

"He’ll come back," she thinks.
