I hadn’t thought about my college boyfriend for years when I noticed he’d viewed one of my Instagram stories. At first, I didn't think much of it, though I was somewhat surprised that he still followed me (he did, after all, break up with me via text). I did, however, find it unusual that he watched the next story I posted...and the next. He's watched every single Instagram story I've posted since.
