Since It’s Already Like This Chapter 16By Novel7s / June 14, 2026 Since It’s Already Like This Chapter 16I didn’t answer. I just smiled and changed the subject.It didn’t matter anymore.Going our separate ways and never speaking again was probably the best ending for us.Not long after that, someone forwarded me news about Mira.Apparently, not long after Lowell and I broke up, she confessed her feelings to him.But Lowell became cold and distant. He even told her, “Mira, if you hadn’t inserted yourself between us, Indy never would have left me.”Everyone who knew them said Lowell seemed like a different person.He blamed Mira for everything.In the end, Mira quit her job and went back to her hometown.By the end of it all, none of the three of us had won.Did I hate Mira?I couldn’t really say.I knew she had said vague, misleading things to Lowell.I also knew that every time I was hurting, she pretended not to see.But I still couldn’t bring myself to see her as a completely bad person.Before Mira left, she had a mutual friend ask if I would have one last meal with her.I thought about it for a long time, but in the end, I agreed.Mira and I had been friends for ten years.That relationship had mattered to me, too.We knew each other’s favorite foods. We knew every crush the other had ever had.We had promised we would be bridesmaids at each other’s weddings.We had also promised we would be godmothers to each other’s children.I never imagined we would end up here because of a man.So unlike with Lowell, what I felt toward Mira was mostly just disappointment.
