Ethan's POVThree years, that's how long it takes for people to stop seeing you as a man. At first, they still pretend. They ask how you're settling in, whether you've found work, whether you're planning for the future,then the questions disappear, the smiles become thinner.The greetings become shorter.

A mistake everyone regrets.Three years ago, when I married Sophia Harrington, the headlines called it an unexpected union, the business magazines called it a reckless decision, the socialites called it a tragedy. The Harrington family… they never bothered giving it a name. To them, I was simply the man who wasn't supposed to exist, a stain on the family portrait and a parasite.
