At twenty, my family went bankrupt, and I broke up with Leander. With red-rimmed eyes, he asked, "Why?" I casually told a lie, "I'm pregnant with someone else's child." Furious, he turned and left, saying he never wanted to see me again. Three years later. I went on a blind date with my three-year-old brother. And, coincidentally, I ran into Leander. He grabbed my hand and pushed me into the restroom, locking the door. "Going on a blind date with a child?" "Why not consider me instead?" "As your ex-boyfriend, I'm reliable and trustworthy."
