OpheliaBy the time the clock on the wall turned to 7:18 p.m, the candles had already burned lower than I wanted, and the sauce I made for dinner had begun to form a thin skin on top.I stood in the middle of the dining room, staring at the table I had spent all afternoon setting, and forced myself not to cry before the night had even properly started.Seven years. Today was our seventh wedding anniversary.Seven years ago, I had walked away from everything for Rowan Callaghan.My family’s name. My inheritance. My seat as acting CEO of Reuben Fragrance Group.
