We Vowed to Meet Atop, but the Summit Is Cold

On the day of the awards ceremony, someone locked me in the bathroom. I pounded on the door like mad, but there was no response from outside. Panicking, I called my boyfriend, Francis, right away. He rejected all three calls, and the messages I sent went nowhere. By the time I finally clambered out over the door and rushed into the ceremony, I saw Francis on stage, holding up the trophy, smiling with such gentleness.
