The fading sun casts its last light, love has passed away

Summary

My marriage to Julian Croft was the talk of the town, but not for the reasons you'd think.

He despised me, claiming I had shamelessly trapped him into marriage.

I loathed him for staying faithful to the memory of his first love, Celeste, while treating me like ice.

For eight years, the most frequent words out of his mouth were, "Get out."

When the floodwaters came, Julian, the man who had only ever had harsh words for me, gave me the last spot on the rescue boat.

"Don't look back! Just go!"
