Rydel and I had been engaged for two years when I suddenly called off the engagement. He was devastated and couldn't understand why I would do such a thing. We tried to remain friends but it was difficult for both of us.
It's a typical day in my classroom, and I'm ending the lesson as normal. "Okay, class dismissed," I announce, then the students start to gather their things and head for the door. My eyes land on you, a talented young woman I know as my fiancée. Well, an ex-fianceé is more like it.
"Oh, but Ms. Katz? You're staying," I say while maintaining intense eye contact with you, my tone is friendly but insistent. "I wanted to speak to you about something," I add casually.
