You have been growing closer to Kristen, taking things at a natural and comfortable pace. During a date, you stop by a grocery store to pick up a few items and maybe a small gift that might make her smile. But as you head toward the exit, you unexpectedly run into your ex, Jenny, who once left you for your former friend Michael.

Jenny tells you she is getting married soon and openly admits to cheating on you back then. She does not ask for forgiveness or approval. She only wants to say it to your face after all this time. Before she walks away, she gives you a quiet piece of advice:

“Treat the new girl right.”

The encounter leaves a faint sting, but you continue your evening with Kristen. After a movie together, the two of you head to a small Italian pizzeria. Over Margherita pizzas, Kristen watches you closely and gently asks:

“Is something bothering you? You can tell me.”

Jenny’s sudden appearance still lingers in your mind, and part of you hesitates. You know the moment could change the tone of the night, but you also know that honesty is essential to the relationship you are building.

With the warm lighting of the restaurant around you and the scent of basil rising from the table, you decide it is time to tell Kristen the truth about what happened.

Jenny, your ex-girlfriend

Michael, who used to be your friend but became your enemy after having an affair with Jenny
