My Last 100 Sunsets Chapter 8
Early the next morning, fog still clung to Rimevale. I carried a small bag, ready to head back to the hospital in the city for more treatment.Eric sat on the steps outside the kitchen. It was the same spot where we had spent an entire night tending the fire six years ago, when a blizzard had stranded us on the mountain.This time, he didn't have an apology rehearsed. He didn't try to take my hand either. He stared at the battered old stockpot in the kitchen."Alice, I always thought the hot spiced cider you made me that night was proof that we'd never fall apart."He let out a bitter laugh. His eyes were bloodshot."Somewhere along the way, I started relying on you because of that memory. I convinced myself that as long as you were still at the inn taking care of me, you would never really leave."I stopped walking and looked at him. "When I first agreed to go to Varenia for assisted dying, it wasn't just because the pain in my bones had become unbearable."It was also because

The last rays of sunlight spilled into the courtyard of Veylune Inn, making the stone pavers gleam.I set the camera facing the courtyard and took my seat behind it. Eric and Denise sat on opposite sides of the long table, more than three feet apart.The neighbors gathered outside the courtyard gate, while former guests joined the livestream as live guests.As soon as the stream started, Eric stood up and tried to apologize.I cut him off. "Sit down. I didn't go live today to watch either of you put on a show about how sorry you are."I glanced at the comments racing across the screen."Start by each telling me one specific thing you did wrong."Denise took a deep breath and spoke first. She stared down at the table, her voice tense."I knew that was the bed you had picked out in the city. I knew you were in the hospital getting treatment, and I still got into that bed with Eric because I wanted to force him to admit which one of us he wanted more."The comments erupted. Withi

My 101st livestream lasted barely 15 minutes. I didn't mention Eric or Denise once.The comments were flooded with the same questions."Is that guy still outside?""Alice, did you forgive him?"I stared at the screen, turned off the comments, and ended the livestream.By the next day, public opinion back home had shifted again. Denise posted all the evidence she had, along with a statement admitting what she'd done.In the lengthy post, she wrote, "I admit that I knowingly got involved with Eric. I knew Alice was his fiancée, and I knew when her chemo was scheduled. I chose to believe that, in the end, Eric would choose me."I wasn't waiting for Alice to die so I could take her place. I finally realized that when Eric told me to ‘wait' and told Alice ‘not to overthink it,' he was doing the same thing to both of us. He was just stringing us both along."Eric didn't delete his posts or try to pin all the blame on Denise. Instead, he posted a response from his main account."I ad

I stared at the two documents in front of me. One offered a painless end. The other offered a long, uncertain road filled with pain.A staff member brought me a glass of water and set it beside me. "Ms. Graham, once you confirm the procedure in the system, it'll be very difficult to reverse."She glanced toward the door, then added softly, "And you only have until tonight to decide whether you want to go ahead with your doctor's treatment."Dr. Wagner had laid everything out clearly in his email. There was no guarantee the new treatment would cure me.I would lose all my hair. The side effects could leave me vomiting through the night, and I might even need a wheelchair to get around.The glimmer of hope I'd just felt faded almost as quickly as it had appeared.Eric's voice drifted in through the crack in the door, hoarse and thick with tears. "Alice, I finally understand how much pain you were in."You used to lie awake at night because your bones hurt so badly, and all I did w

Denise scheduled the final recording to go live.Eric sounded almost casual in it.Denise asked, "How long is this round of Alice's treatment going to take? What if she doesn't get better?"Eric laughed. "Relax. She's not actually going anywhere. Without Veylune Inn, she wouldn't even know where to go."The recording blew up across every major platform.At the airport, Eric posted a lengthy statement. For the first time, he admitted that he had known I was sick."I just kept convincing myself it wasn't that serious. As long as Alice could still keep the books and manage the rooms, I told myself everything was fine."He spun his own inaction as trust in my ability to handle everything.Denise came clean on her livestream too. She admitted that she had used my illness to force Eric to choose between us.The sympathy she'd been getting vanished almost instantly as the backlash poured in.I turned off all my direct messages and notifications, put on a heavy coat, and left the cab
My Last 100 Sunsets Chapter 3
Denise moved her livestream setup out to the courtyard of Veylune Inn.A few familiar neighbors had gathered around the cosmos flowers I'd planted myself. Doris Greene, who sold breakfast nearby, stood at the front, still clutching her apron in one hand.I kept my own livestream running, the camera still trained on the snowcapped mountains of Varenia. I stayed off camera and said nothing.Eric joined Denise's call while he was on his way to the airport. His voice was tight with barely restrained anger. "Denise, shut the stream down right now. What do you get out of ruining the inn?"Denise turned the volume all the way up and set her phone on the stone table in the courtyard. "Eric, is the inn's reputation really the only thing you care about?"Then she played a recording.The inn's kitchen exhaust fan roared in the background, and Eric's voice came through slightly muffled."The doctors never said she couldn't get better. But she's terrified of pain, so who knows if she'll even
