Broken Christmas Promise

Jenna Kastle, Marketing Director for a New York advertising company, decided against her better judgement to deliver an important marketing presentation to Heritage, a Boston based company. Boston had been her favorite city until ten years ago when she received a mysterious call from her fiancé Brett, a pilot serving in Afghanistan. He had asked her to marry him on Christmas Eve right before he deployed. When he called, he broke their engagement with no reason given; he shattered her heart into a million pieces. She placed the ring into its blue velvet box, packaged it up and shipped it back to him. He had been just a memory until today. As she set up her computer for the presentation, she heard his name as he was introduced, “Brett Wolfhead, Heritage’s founder and CEO.” “Ms. Kastle?” She froze at the all-to familiar sound of his voice. His dark eyes fastened on hers. Her heart hammered. How did she handle this – ignore him and let him think that he had never hurt her or confront him and demand an answer? She chose to confront him never imagining what his answer would be.
