Break-up Songs Don’t Reignite Feelings Chapter 25
The wedding took place a month later.Josephine wore a white wedding gown. Her hair was pinned up, revealing her slender neck.Ethan stood at the other end of the carpet. He was in a black tuxedo, and his bow tie was tied neatly and perfectly.As he watched her walk down the aisle, tears welled up in his eyes. Petals covered the carpet. She walked through the crowd of well-wishers, past smiles that reached their eyes and smiles that did not.Soon, she stopped in front of him. The pastor recited the vows in a solemn and gentle voice.“Ms. Josephine Shelby, do you take Mr. Ethan Carey to be your husband? Do you agree to love him, respect him, and protect him, in poverty and in wealth, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?”She looked into his eyes and said clearly, “I do.”The pastor turned to Ethan and paused for a moment.“Mr. Ethan Carey, do you take Ms. Josephine Shelby to be your wife? Do you agree to love her, respect her, and be faithful to her, in povert

She had lost so much weight. Her black coat, which was once snug on her shoulders, hung loose and shapeless on her frame. The seams sagged at the shoulders.Her hair had grown longer and fell in messy strands across her forehead. At her temples, a few gray hairs had appeared.They looked at each other for a few seconds.Rosalind grew flustered under his gaze. Her lips parted, as if she wanted to say something, but no words came out.Ethan was the first to speak. “Are you done staring?”Rosalind froze.“Ethan!” She panicked and took a step forward to chase after him.He paused and turned to look at her. “What else do you want?”There was too much she wanted to say. Her words were stuck in her throat, and she could not force out a single one.After several seconds, she finally managed to utter a single line.“H-How are you?”He glanced at her. “What does that have to do with you?”She was stunned. Her lips trembled, and her face turned pale.He did not bother to wait

When Rosalind came out of the nightclub, it was still dark outside.The streetlights were still on, casting orange light across the empty road. No one was around.She stood by the curb. The cold breeze hit her, sobering her up considerably. A sharp pain twisted in her stomach. It hurt so much that she bent over and held onto a tree. She gagged for a while, but nothing came out.She straightened up and wiped her face with her hand.Finally, she hailed a cab.“Where to?” the driver asked.She was about to give the address of the villa, but the words caught in her throat.In the end, she said, “The cemetery.”The driver glanced at her in the rearview mirror. He did not ask any further questions and started driving.In front of Nina’s headstone lay a fresh bouquet of daisies.Dew still glistened on the petals. The flowers had clearly been placed there very recently. She crouched down and reached out to touch them. Her fingers met the cold petals, and a sharp ache pierced her

Rosalind spent five days in the hospital. She completed all the discharge procedures by herself. She walked out of the hospital alone. No one came to pick her up.She did not go home. That villa was too large and too empty. The moment she stepped through the door, she would see Nina’s photos, toys, and little blanket left on the couch. She could not bear it. So, she went to a bar instead. There, she drank from evening until dawn.She drank whiskey, vodka, brandy, or whatever was available. When the bartender refused to pour her another round, she slammed her hand on the counter and yelled. When that did not work, she reached over and grabbed the bottles herself. She soon felt a burning pain in her stomach, as if a hand was twisting and wringing her insides. She ignored it and kept drinking. ‘Might as well die from the pain,’ she thought.At 3 a.m., she vomited.The people around her screamed and scattered in fright. She looked down at the blood in her vomit and laughe

On the day Ethan got into a car accident, Josephine was not there.He went to the south side of the city to buy a bouquet of daisies for Nina. The driver was up front. Ethan sat in the back with his eyes closed. His mind was filled with images of Nina as a little girl. The light turned red, and the driver braked. Everything was normal. Then, a truck ran the red light and slammed into them from the side.A deafening crash followed. Glass shattered and metal twisted.The world flipped upside down. Ethan was thrown against the side of the car. His head hit the window, and everything went black.He thought he was going to die.Then, he heard a voice.“Ethan! Ethan! Wake up!”It was Rosalind.She appeared out of nowhere. The car door was crushed shut and would not budge. She slammed her elbow into the window until the glass gave way. Her skin was torn, and blood dripped out, but she did not seem to care how painful it was.She reached through the broken window and unlocked

After the black sedan pulled away from the square, Ethan remained silent for a long time.He leaned against the car window, drawing lazy circles on his knee without realizing it.Next to him, Josephine scrolled through her phone in silence.It was quiet for a long time.Then, Ethan said, “She used to be different.”Josephine’s fingers paused.He continued softly, “She used to be stubbornly proud. Even when she was trying to win me over, she wouldn’t say she liked me directly. She would make me guess.“At our wedding, when the officiant asked if she was willing to be my wife, she waited a long time before joking, ‘What else would I be doing here?’”He paused. Josephine set her phone aside and looked at him. His reflection in the window was faint, but she could still see the tears welling up in his eyes.She did not say anything more. Instead, she rolled down the window. The cool night breeze rushed in, sweeping away the heaviness that had filled the car.“Are you hungry?
