The day I was released from prison was New Year's Eve. My fiancée had promised to pick me up. Instead, she was busy ringing in the New Year with the man she had always loved. By the time I found my way back home from memory, she was in the middle of a cheering crowd, wrapped in his arms. "Nancy, Samuel's getting out today. Aren't you going to pick him up?" someone asked. Nancy Wheeler let out a soft laugh, her red lips curling slightly. "Pick him up? What's more important, him or New Year's? He's been in there for years. One more day won't kill him." "Aren't you afraid he'll be angry?" Colder than the wind and snow outside were Nancy's indifferent words. "He's the one who made a mistake. What right does he have to be angry? The fact that I was still willing to be with him was already a mercy." As the words left her mouth, she lifted her gaze, only to meet mine. The smile froze on her face. The cold light from inside fell across me, and something in my heart froze with it. She said she was still willing to have me. However, I no longer wanted her.

She was so worried about him that she made me the fall guy. Maybe she knew all along it was not me, but she went along with it anyway.Because I'm the strong one, without a hint of depression?I could not help but laugh bitterly to myself. I looked at her with a chill in my eyes that must have scared her because she could not even meet my gaze."Nancy, do you know what sets humans apart from animals?"She looked confused, so I spelled it out for her, "Humans know how to put on an act, and sometimes they're even better at being beasts than the beasts themselves."After I went inside, Nancy did not leave.She stood frozen, like a puppet without a soul, her face as white as the snow around us. Our eyes met through the glass, and it was like I was back on New Year's Eve.I was shivering in the cold snow, and she was cozy inside a warm room, looking down at me with a mix of scorn and pity.I ignored the pain in her eyes and quickly closed the curtains. I could not look at her anymor

The questions came at me like waves, but I just did not get it.She was the one who did not want to marry me, after all.I pulled my hand away from hers and glanced at my jeans and T-shirt.I kept quiet, but Nancy looked like she had lost all her fight, nothing like the angry person she was just a moment ago.The year we were so in love was the same year she first put off our wedding for Hank.Back then, I did not know the truth. She said it was because of her job, but she actually went to see the Northern Lights with Hank.When she saw I was upset, she cuddled up to me and said in a sweet voice, "Samuel, I'm sorry. Work's been crazy this year. Let's definitely get married next year, okay?"I could not stay mad at her. Half teasing, half serious, I said: "If you do this again, I'll wear my everyday clothes at the wedding and hide in the crowd, so you'll never be able to find me."She laughed and slipped a fancy watch she had bought onto my wrist, then kissed me softly."That d

"That's okay, I have one."She pulled out the ring I had tossed aside and slipped it onto my finger herself.Hank stepped in front of me, trying hard not to show his jealousy. "Samuel, you made it. Is your hand still sore?"He was poking at old wounds on purpose, but this time, I was not the one to cut him off."Stop it! What's so fun about dredging up old stuff all the time?" Nancy's sharp words stopped Hank cold, and he just stood there, speechless.Nancy did not care about his hurt feelings this time. He had always thought he was Nancy's dream guy, the one she could not have. However, it turned out that once he became too clingy, he was just annoying.Nancy and I had our wedding date set for the fifteenth. She seemed even more eager than I was.She stuck by my side right up to the wedding day. She did not even go to work, and when Hank acted all depressed and threatened to hurt himself, she pretended she did not notice.Somehow, Hank calmed down after a while. He stopped fus

She even managed to cancel our wedding that we had finally set, just by saying, "Hank's not feeling well," like it was nothing.So this time, I did not bow down to her.We stopped talking, but her social media was buzzing more than ever.In the glitzy party lights, she would be all over Hank, but her eyes kept sneaking peeks at the camera.Hank, he would wave those photos in my face, taunting me.[You think you can beat me, loser? You couldn't get Nancy in ten years, but all it takes is one word from me, and she's mine.]I just smiled when Nancy, after a few too many drinks, tearfully asked me why I had not reached out to her, why I would not just say sorry."Samuel, just say you're sorry, and everything will go back to how it was. You can come back to work, and no one will bring up the jail thing," she said.I thought about it. Since getting out, only Nancy and Hank's crowd ever mentioned my time behind bars.Oh, and there was someone else I had almost forgotten.I was silen

Hank stood there with his arms crossed, looking down on me like I was nothing."You must be really scared you won't find anyone to marry, coming here to apologize to me like this," he said.I just looked at him, no expression on my face. "You're right, I should apologize."He grinned, thinking he

My heart stumbled. I must have heard her wrong. I stared at her, shocked."What did you say?"Nancy said it again, and I felt wronged. I tried to keep steady, but my voice shook."Why should I apologize to him? Do you know what he called me yesterday?"She massaged her forehead, looking like she

Hank's laughter faded, but his eyes were full of scorn. "Hilarious, really hilarious. I thought today was going to be so dull, right before New Year's."He pointed at my shoulder and smirked, "Until you, the clown, showed up.”"Did prison make you that desperate to come out and try to charm Nancy?
Snow on the Other Side Chapter 1
Everything went quiet for a moment, then Nancy Wheeler was the first to come back to her senses. She walked over to me, her steps light and graceful.I stood there with my short, plain haircut and old, out-of-style clothes, sticking out like a sore thumb on that happy, snowy night. She paused, just
