When Love's Fireworks Fade

Summary

While taking a quiet walk around our residential neighborhood, I ran straight into my ex-husband, Tristan.

For a second, I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. No one knew better than I did how much Tristan detested this town, and how much he despised this exact neighborhood.

I stopped in my tracks, offering a polite but distant greeting. "Are you back to visit your grandmother's grave?"

He stood there, impeccably dressed in a tailored suit, his eyes locked onto mine without so much as a blink. "I bought a house here. I stay here whenever I'm in town on business."
