almost always the reason. My heart twists a little, wishing they were here.
    I unwrap the next frame, but it’s the paper, rather than the picture, that catches my attention. Rachel packed some of these boxes for me, and although I’m grateful she sacrificed some of her tabloid collection to use as packing material, I notice the publication date on this particular issue of
Celebrity Seeker
and feel a stab in my side: March.
    Everything about last spring was … ugh.
    I tear through the rest of the box anyway and find the cover: EMMA LOSES TROY TO SAND SIREN . I never actually read this article, so I open the pages and force myself to do it:
    Poor, poor Emma Taylor. Her eyes are probably red and swollen today after learning that yet another one of her boyfriends has cheated on her. Troy Dawson, her beau of six months, was seen at the Santa Monica Pier this past weekend wrapped around another beauty in a barely there bikini.
    â€œHe definitely wasn’t trying to hide anything,” reported an onlooker. “It was hard to tell whose hands were whose.”
    This shameless display in broad daylight supports recent rumors that the superstar relationship is on the rocks. “It’s about time Troy moved on,” said a friend of the young actor. “Emma is impossible to keep happy.”
    Another source claims she saw Taylor and Dawson arguing at a party the night before his fling on the beach.“I could hear Troy screaming at Emma over the music. She kept trying to calm him down and saying that they should leave.”
    This isn’t the first time Taylor has attempted to curb a boyfriend’s appetite for wild parties. It also isn’t the first time she’s failed to curb a guy’s appetite for other women. “For whatever reason, Emma can’t keep a guy faithful,” said a Hollywood insider. “And having three boyfriends in a row cheat on her, she’s gotta be wondering if she’s the problem, not them.”
    The conflict has yet to reach the boiling point. Taylor and Dawson still have another month of filming before their television series,
The First Family
, wraps for good. Heartthrob Dawson was brought on to play a love interest for Taylor’s character this season, likely to distract viewers from the real-life drama taking place behind the scenes between another Hollywood couple.
    That’s when I stop reading because my eyes are burning, and I refuse to cry even one more tear over Troy Dawson. The story is right about us arguing the night before he cheated on me, but I wasn’t trying to “curb his appetite” for anything. That particular night, another guy—who was one of my
Mountain Home
costars—gave me a big hug when he saw me. And then we had talked … too long, and too friendly, and too everything for Troy. He had acted overly possessive a couple of times before, but that night was the first time he yelled at me.
    I knew I wanted out right then, but I decided to cool things off slowly to draw less attention to the breakup. My apology—explaininghow I knew the other guy, and that he was
ten years
older than me—wasn’t enough, though, and Troy thought he could teach me a lesson by showing up on a full-page tabloid cover, playing his own version of Twister on the beach.
    That was nothing compared to what followed.
    I refused to take him back, so for weeks after we broke up he left creepy phone messages, saying he was watching everything I did, and he proved it by listing specific places I’d been. Then after his last day of work on
The First Family
, he chased me for over an hour, with me darting my car in and out of crazy L.A. traffic. I thought I’d ditched him, but when I returned to my aunt’s house, he was waiting in the driveway.
    I unrolled my window just an inch to try to defuse the situation, but he immediately started swearing at me, saying how stupid I was being, that I had started all this by
