Title: Marry Me Melody
Author: Emily Dana Botrous
Date: 2023
Quote: "She couldn't do this. She couldn't marry TJ."
This is one of those short stories the Internet allows people to circulate as separate e-books, where a traditional publisher would have bound them together with other things. It's an epilogue to a novel called With Love, Melody. I think the quote gives a good idea of what happens in the story.
Readers will probably find Melody and TJ more interesting if they've read the novel, but here I stand to testify that it's possible to care about them if you read the short story first. This is not a thing I normally say about short stories. Botrous is good.
