On the eve of their anniversary, Kevin planned the perfect surprise for his girlfriend Paige — concert tickets to her favorite artist. He even considered proposing that night. But everything took a sharp turn when Paige accidentally found the tickets and mocked him in front of her friends, joking that he only bought them to hear “girly love songs.” The room erupted in laughter, leaving Kevin humiliated.

Hurt and confused, Kevin walked out. Days later, he discovered Paige had sold the tickets to buy makeup. “Next time, just get me a Sephora card,” she said, dismissively. That’s when Kevin realized the relationship was one-sided. On their anniversary morning, he left her a Sephora card and a heartbreaking note revealing he had planned to propose — but was thankful he saw her true colors in time. He ended it and moved out.

Later, a colleague invited Kevin to the same concert. He went — and there, by pure chance, met Demi. They bonded over a shared pretzel and talked the whole night. By the end, they exchanged numbers and planned to meet again.

Now, Kevin looks forward to a new beginning. What started as a painful ending turned into the start of something hopeful.
