Love’s Empty Echo
When Callum abandoned me, feverish and shivering on a mountain road, just to watch a meteor shower with the young woman he had raised, I decided to divorce him.
His good friend, Emmet, advised him to try winning me back.
"Look Cal, sisters are sisters, but a wife takes priority. You’d better not mix up what matters most."
Callum, however, dismissed the idea with a confident smile.
"She’s bluffing. Does she really think she’ll go through with the divorce?"
"All these years, I’ve given her a place to belong. Without me, she wouldn’t even have a home. Leave me? She wouldn’t dare.
"Just wait. Before the cooling-off period ends, she’ll come back crying and begging me to take her in."
But thirty days passed, and I never looked back.
While he scoured the world searching for me, I sipped tea in a misty mountain villa, utterly at peace.
"James," I remarked to my step-brother, "your place truly feels like home."
