Drabble Challenge #54 [Alternate]

Prompt: heart

I was talking with someone else at the party, so I wasn’t fully listening to what my partner, the love of my life, was saying. I don’t even know why I heard what I did.

I wish I hadn’t…

We met several new people that day, and one asked him, ‘Are you two a couple?’ indicating me.

I thought he’d just say yes, or maybe that it’s complicated. Neither of those would have broken my heart into pieces.

‘No, not really,’ he said.

It’s been several days, and he doesn’t know I heard. He has no idea my heart’s crushed.
