Chapter 1

5 years ago,

Madison, Connecticut

Rey opened the front of the door of the small cottage house her and Poe shared. They've been together for two and a half years. They moved in together after she graduated from college, she had been doing an internship with the local newspaper in her town. She was a writer, she loved to write about current events and life.

It wasn't enough for Rey, she also loved to write songs and she would write them with her boyfriend Poe who was a singer. They both shared a passion for music and they loved singing together.

Rey put her keys down and removed her coat, she heard Poe's voice.

"I'm in the dining room sunshine."

Rey saw him standing there as if he was waiting for her with two glasses of wine. She walked towards him and gave him a kiss. She noticed the table was set up very nicely and there were candles everywhere.

Poe handed her a glass of wine.

"What's all of this?" she said as she took the glass of wine.

"Anniversary dinner" Poe gave her a smile.

"Oh my god how did I forget?, I'm sorry, I've just been so busy with the internship and I've honestly lost track of the days." Rey said

"It's okay" he cupped her face and gave her a kiss. "Well before we eat I wanted to talk to you about something." Poe sat down

"You have news too?" Rey said with the biggest smile on her face as she took a seat next to Poe.

"Ladies go first, tell me." Poe grabbed her hand.

"I got a job offer, not an internship a real job. I'll get to actually write about what I want." Rey smiled.

"Rey that's great, congrats babe." Poe kissed her hand.

"Thanks, they want me to start in two days." Rey said with an excited tone.

"Where's the job?" Poe asked, being curious about this job offer.

"Vanity Fair, you know Tom's father is a sponsor for the magazine and he knows the editor and he talked to him about me. He sent them my resume and portfolio and they really "

"You're going to New York?" Poe cut her off as he got up from his chair.

"Yes, I already said yes. It's a good job and a great opportunity for me Poe"

"We are not going to talk about this first?" Poe said, his tone changed, he was bothered by the news he just heard.

"Well we are talking about it right now and I've made a decision Poe." Rey put her glass of wine down on the small table that was separating her and Poe.

He looked angry and disappointed at the same time. She's never seen him this way.

"What about us? We just moved in a year ago and now you're leaving?"

"They're going to be giving me a place to live and you can come with me Poe."

"And the music?"

"Poe, I love making music with you, but I want to give this a try. Music has always been your thing and – "

"So you just make a decision without talking to me about it first Rey?" Poe cut her off again.

"Poe can you listen to what I'm trying to tell you?!?. It's not fair. Not everything has to revolve around you! It's my life, this is what I want to do!!!" Rey got up from her chair
