After He Let Go

Summary

Two weeks before I stopped waiting, Ethan Hayes gave my island invitation to another woman.

Her name was Mia Lawson.

Twenty-six, pretty, soft-spoken, and always close enough to him that people had started pretending not to notice.

That night, everyone at our table went quiet.

Ethan didn't.

He placed the envelope in her hand and said, "You've been working too hard. Take a break."

Mia blushed like he had given her roses.

I looked at the envelope, then at the man I had waited eight years to marry.

That island was supposed to be ours.
