Our story begins at 18. Those days are hazy in my memory, but an old photo of him sets a timeline. I was friends with Jo back then. I met her three years earlier when she stole my boyfriend. I was naïve. I didn't realize how toxic she was, and we remained friends for two years after this.
She had this friend that she met online. She wasn't interested in dating him, but they talked often. On a chilly afternoon in February, she said he wanted to talk on Skype, but she didn't want to be alone. Jo, Devon, and I logged on and started a video call with her friend. His name was Colson, and I would find out 4 years later that that video call was where our affair began.
We quickly became friends, adding each other online and exchanging phone numbers. He was sexually frustrated and the biggest flirt I had ever met. But he was cute and easy to talk to. Four years later, that's a big turning point for our relationship, I would have an epiphany. I had loved him this entire time, I just couldn't admit it.
