Are Tears Lighter Than Snowflakes? Chapter 8
After Isaac returned to Westbridge, he didn't immediately pick a fight with Serena.He simply moved out of their marital home and directed all further communication through attorneys.Serena went to his office several times.She cried, and she tried to use the baby to keep him from leaving.When she finally understood he wasn't coming back, her voice went cold."Why are you blaming only me?"You chose to marry me, and you personally agreed to give me that wedding."Isaac, neither of us is innocent."She still refused to admit answering the hospital call.And she continued insisting that the collision outside the bridal suite had been accidental.But no one took her word for it anymore.After the baby was born, she and Isaac divorced through the Westbridge County Family Court.Mom and Dad no longer defended Serena the way they once had.But they couldn't face her as though nothing had happened, either.The whole family still lived in Westbridge and sometimes sat at the sam

Over those months, my own life changed little by little.My project proposal was rejected six times.Before the seventh presentation, I spent the entire night in the conference room.When Diane handed me the final approval document, she smiled."Rachel, congratulations."Your design has been approved."I held the document, and my eyes unexpectedly began to burn.In the past, Isaac was always the first person I wanted to tell whenever I accomplished something.Then Mom and Dad, Andrew, and Phoebe.But they either ignored me or sent a distracted response saying they had seen it.Serena could post a photo of her brunch and have all of them fussing over her.Now my colleagues had actually studied my proposal and were applauding me.Someone handed me coffee. Someone else invited me out to celebrate that night.I lowered my head and signed my name on the approval form.For the first time, I understood that my own name didn't need to belong to anyone else to have value.Six mon

The next day, Isaac returned to the Marblecrest Hotel.He asked hotel security to preserve and review the hallway footage outside the bridal suite.The video showed me leaving the room with my suitcase.Serena approached from the opposite direction and noticeably slowed as she passed me.Her shoulder drove into mine.I lost my balance and fell backward into the bridal suite.A few seconds later, Isaac ran inside after me.The hallway camera didn't show what happened inside the room.But it clearly recorded Serena looking down at the toe of her shoe before she left.Several drops of my blood stained the white heels.She had seen them.She had still clutched her stomach and drawn everyone away.Isaac placed the footage in front of her.Serena panicked for only an instant before she began crying."The dress was heavy. I lost my balance too."I saw the blood, but I honestly thought Rachel had started her period."Then my stomach hurt and all I could think about was the baby

Of more than a hundred missed calls, Isaac's name appeared most often.My phone began vibrating again almost immediately, and his name lit the screen once more.I watched it for several seconds, declined the call, and blocked every one of them.Diane met me at the airport.She frowned the moment she saw me."Why do you look so pale?"Do you need to go to a hospital first?"I shook my head."I just had a minor procedure. A few days of rest should be enough."She didn't press for details. She simply took my suitcase and opened the car door for me.Unfamiliar streets slipped past the window.No one here knew Serena Calloway.No one knew anything about that absurd wedding back in Westbridge.The project team gave me a week off.But I returned to the office on the third day.It wasn't because the pain had disappeared.Whenever I closed my eyes, I saw Serena's post.I saw Mom and Dad sitting beside her bed choosing names for her unborn baby.I saw the nurse hand me consent

Isaac rushed inside, breathing hard, as though he were terrified he might never see me again.My face was bloodless. I gave a bitter laugh and was about to speak when he slipped a caramel into my mouth.The gesture was automatic, exactly as it had been for seven years."Look at you. You're about to have another low-blood-sugar episode."The rich sweetness spread across my tongue and somehow tasted bitter.When I didn't answer, Isaac took off his jacket and draped it over my shoulders."I'll have the driver take you to another hotel."I've already arranged a room. Stay there for a few days."When the ceremony is over, I'll come find you and explain everything properly."My eyes suddenly burned.He hadn't said he loved me, and he hadn't said he couldn't bear to lose me.But these unconscious habits of care still reminded me of the man who once ran through the rain with medicine and refused to leave until I finished a meal.The habits of seven years were still there.His jack

The ballroom doors opened again.Mom hurried to Serena's side and gently wiped the tears from her face.When she looked at me, her tone was full of reproach."Serena has swallowed her hurt for seven years because of you."She only wants the wedding that should have been hers. Why did you have to come back and ruin it?"My voice shook."Mom, so you don't have a heart condition at all? You were pretending?"Three years ago, Isaac and I had an appointment at the county clerk's office."You suddenly said your chest hurt and made me take you to the hospital."Was that only to get me out of the way too?"Serena let out a short laugh."Rachel, you finally remembered."From beneath her bouquet, she took out two certified copies of a marriage record.In the photograph attached to the keepsake copy, she leaned against Isaac's shoulder.They looked happy and perfectly matched.The civil-marriage date was the same day I had spent sitting beside Mom at the hospital three years earlie
