Leaves Fade, No One Returns

Summary

As teens, my childhood sweetheart Wyatt and I were in his room watching a forbidden movie. He kissed me just as the door opened—both sets of parents saw.

Under their scolding, Wyatt vowed to marry only me. We became Crestview’s golden couple, but as the wedding neared, he vanished after taking down a Southeast Asian black market ring.

I searched globally, found him—but he’d lost his memory. He kept his promise, and we married. Yet for seven years, our home was cold and silent. He eventually moved to a remote Zen retreat, leaving me alone in our mansion.
