I pointed to the faint line in the images, the same line I had noticed earlier.
“She merged two different photos, Max. This guy isn’t real. Mary wanted to break us up.”
Mary’s face drained of color.
“Sarah, stop!” she said quickly, panic lacing her voice.
But I wasn’t backing down. I pulled out the original photo of Max and me, the one where we were together, happy.
“This is the original photo. Mary cropped me out and replaced me with someone else.”
Max’s face tightened with confusion and hurt as he looked at the evidence.
Slowly, understanding washed over him. His eyes moved from the photos to Mary.
“You did this?” he whispered, his voice heavy with disbelief.
Tears welled up in Mary’s eyes as she crumbled.
“I just… I couldn’t stand seeing you two together. I thought… I thought if I made you break up, I could have a chance.”
Max’s jaw clenched as he stood up and turned away from her.
His gaze landed on me, and I saw the pain and regret in his eyes.
“Sarah,” he began, his voice filled with remorse, “I’m so sorry. I should’ve trusted you.”
Tears brimmed in my own eyes as I nodded, my heart softening. “I know,” I whispered.
Without another word, Max knelt down in front of me, pulling out the ring I had seen before.
“I love you, Sarah. I was a fool to doubt you. Will you still marry me?”
A smile broke through my tears as I whispered, “Yes, Max.
Yes.”
Mary left, sobbing, and Max and I stood there in each other’s arms, ready to rebuild our love and face the future together.
