๐Ÿ’” TONIGHTโ€™S GAME: BUILD YOUR EX FILE

Drop your answers in the comments:

Name + book.

2. WHY DID YOU DUMP HIM?
๐Ÿšฉ Too possessive
๐Ÿ”ฅ Too much chaos
๐Ÿ‘€ Absolutely no boundaries
๐Ÿ’€ The body count became concerning
๐Ÿ’” Emotionally unavailable
๐Ÿ˜ˆ Other โ€” explain yourself

3. HE TEXTS โ€œI MISS YOU.โ€ WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
A โ€” Blocked. Immediately.
B โ€” โ€œWho is this?โ€
C โ€” Iโ€™m listeningโ€ฆbut from a safe distance.
D โ€” Fine. Iโ€™m taking him back. Donโ€™t judge me.

๐Ÿ–ค BONUS: DROP HIS BREAKUP REVIEW

๐Ÿ’‹ MY FICTIONAL EX FILE ๐Ÿ’” WHO'S MY EX? Nick Bruin from Lords of Pain by Angel Lawson & Samantha Rue. YES, I knew exactly what I was getting myself into. ๐Ÿšฉ ๐Ÿ”ฅ WHY DID I DUMP HIM? Too possessive, too much chaos, and apparently I confuse red flags with carnival decorations. ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ“ฑ HE TEXTS 'I MISS YOU.' D โ€” I'm taking him back. I didn't even make him apologize. DON'T JUDGE ME! ๐Ÿซฃ โญ BREAKUP REVIEW Chemistry: 100/10 ๐Ÿ”ฅ Red Flags: ๐Ÿšฉ๐Ÿšฉ๐Ÿšฉ๐Ÿšฉ๐Ÿšฉ Would I relapse? I never even changed the locks. ๐Ÿ’€ ๐Ÿ˜ˆ FINAL VERDICT: SECOND CHANCE APPROVED! Nick Bruin is living proof that I don't need better taste in fictional men. I need adult supervision in the dark romance section. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ–ค
