I never expected Julian to show up in my life once more. I had been sitting on the living room floor with my daughter, reading a picture book with her, while Mark cooked in the kitchen.Suddenly, a knock came at the door.

His eyes looked sunken, and his face thin. The man who had once exuded confidence had vanished, replaced with one who was hollow-eyed and weary to the bone.When he saw me, tears immediately spilled down his cheeks.His trembling hand reached for my face, never quite touching. It seemed that he was afraid that I would disappear if he did, whispering, "Nora, I've finally found you…"I looked at him calmly, acting as if he were a stranger. "Can I help you?"Perhaps it was the coldness in my gaze that struck him, because Julian choked back a sob. "Nora, it's all my fault. I'll hold another wedding.
