The Melted Promise

With 23 days left until graduation, he placed a loquat candy on my notebook with a promise: I have something to tell you on graduation day. But when the ceremony arrived, his house was completely empty and his phone number was disconnected. I waited three days, deleted everything about him, and moved far away. Six years later, I came across a profile on a dating app. The bio has only one line: The loquat candy melted.
