thanks, Sarah replied. I’ve been enjoying not talking to him.
Well, you might have to. Toni paused. He’s been saying – well, he’s been telling people the reason you guys broke up is because you’re crazy. He’s saying you stalked him during the summer and you cried if he tried to do anything without you. He’s also spreading a rumor you’re a nymphomaniac, although he’s claiming it could be because he’s so good in bed.
So Sarah did talk to him. She explained that whatever respect she’d had for him was gone forever. And she asked him to tell everyone that his explanation for their break-up was lies.
He refused, and it was the last time she had any contact with him.
Until the week before her wedding, when an email arrived. Matt had learned she was about to get married and, as a result, would be lost to him forever. He had always loved her, he claimed, so, in a last-ditch attempt to salvage their relationship, he was letting her know he loved her.
I only spread those rumors when we broke up because I was hurt, he added, in his email, as though his being hurt justified anything. I’ll always love you, Sarah, and if you want to change your mind I’ll be waiting.
She didn’t want to. She let him know this – and not too gently – and suggested he not contact her again. At the time she had been a bit shaken up – she had no idea he still held such an intensely burning candle for her, and she couldn’t believe he thought his plan might work – but looking back, it was quite amusing.
Unless the candle had not gone out, and he was impersonating her on Facebook and email.
‘You think it might be him?’ Sarah said.
‘You’d know. From what you told me, he was a bit on the possessive side.’
Sarah nodded. ‘OK, I’ll ask around. See if anyone knows what he’s up to these days.’
‘Good,’ Ben said. ‘Sounds like a plan.’
