Time passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, Leo and I had been married for 3 years.
Over those 3 years, Leo's business had grown and grown, but the time he spent with me hadn't shrunk at all.
We went to watch the aurora together. We watched the sunrise by the sea together.
Every wish I'd had in my previous life that Charles had ignored—Leo made them come true, one by one.
And Charles seemed to have vanished from my world entirely.
Once in a while, at business gatherings, I'd hear his name mentioned.
I heard that because of his debts, the court had put his name on the list of defaulting debtors.
I heard that he later took a job as a sanitation worker downtown.
But I no longer cared.
That weekend, Leo took me to a fine restaurant downtown.
To celebrate our 3rd wedding anniversary
