I never married for love — only for comfort and peace. Hunter and I were partners, not lovers, and our marriage worked because it was built on respect. But when he grew distant and secretive, I followed him and discovered he was meeting Alison, his first love. He admitted he had always loved her.
Shaken, I asked for a divorce and, behind his back, went to the airport to stop Alison from leaving. I told her Hunter still loved her and convinced her to come back. Watching them reunite confirmed what I already knew: Hunter deserved real love.
As they embraced, I realized my role in his story was ending. But standing beside Kieran — my colleague and loyal friend — I began to wonder if maybe love could still find me after all.
