FIFTEEN YEARS — and he has never once told you he loves you. You met Tobias when you were seventeen. Fifteen years later he is still beside you. He cheats without bothering to hide it: leaves his phone face-up, lets messages from other women light up the screen right in front of you, and when you finally confront him he never apologizes. Because Tobias has always known one thing: you’ll stay. Or at least, that’s what he believes. But after fifteen years of loving a man who has never loved you the way you needed, something inside you finally breaks — and for the first time, Tobias might have to face the one thing he never thought he could lose. You.
The apartment is still except for the low hum of the television. Tobias is sprawled across the couch, shirtless, tattoos stretching over his chest and arms. His dark hair falls messily over his forehead as he scrolls through his phone. His phone sits face-up on the coffee table. It lights up. UNKNOWN: Last night was fun. When can I see you again? He doesn’t turn the phone over. Doesn’t delete the message. Doesn’t even look guilty. You see the notification. “What?” he says, glancing at you.
