We miss you. Chapter One Siobhan Eighteen to twenty-four months. All bridal magazines insist that a bride should organize a wedding within that time frame. I did. According to my bridal planner I created two years ago, today I should have a light breakfast. I’m not. Instead, I’m eating wafer cookies dipped in chocolate chip lavender-flavored ice cream. The next item on the agenda is practicing the vows I’ll say during the wedding. Not today. Today I’m reading articles on how to move on and move forward.

I don’t miss him—I don’t love him. Did I ever love him if it’s this easy to move on? I’m over Roland Seymour. He can enjoy his new life in Atlanta with his new beautiful Southern Belle wife, his minivan, and his two-point-six children. Okay, I have no idea if he has a family with that woman, but it doesn’t matter. I’m over the cheating bastard. Over. Him. But how do I let go of the anger? When I come to an article about letting go of the
