The Savior He Never Knew

Summary

Ethan Caldwell came back to our village for the Harvest Festival, bringing his fiancée from the city.

Everyone in the village said he was born lucky.

He'd been kidnapped as a child and later found by wealthy relatives, and now he was a man of standing.

When he saw me under the old locust tree, he paused for just a second.

"Nora? You're still not married?"

His fiancée immediately tightened her grip on his arm, smiling sweetly.

"Ethan, who's this?"

Ethan answered coolly.

"Just a neighbor from when I was a kid."

I froze for a second and almost laughed out loud.
