When the police found me, I could no longer walk on my own.The ambulance rushed me to the hospital. The doctor on duty cut open my soaked pant legs and asked where my family was.I gave him Blaine Zahn's number. The nurse called twice, but no one answered.On the third attempt, someone finally picked up. It was Lizzie Sterling.She said, "Blaine is taking a shower. Why did you call the police, Wanda? He just wanted you to cool off. Now, you've caused trouble for him, and he'll have to answer questions."The nurse's face fell as she said, "The patient is suffering from hypothermia. We need a family member here immediately."Lizzie laughed softly and responded, "Please treat her first. I'll cover the cost. Wanda, you know Blaine has an important meeting tomorrow. Stop using your well-being to scare him. After all these years of you pulling that trick in your marriage, it doesn't work anymore."With that, the call ended.I lay on the emergency room bed, my fingers still curled ar

By the time I reached the cabin, the wooden sign Mom had put up had been split down the middle into two.The foreman recognized me and hurried over to explain. "Mr. Zahn told us to clear out all the old things. We didn't know this belonged to you."I crouched down and picked it up. A splinter pierced my fingertip, drawing a tiny bead of blood.When Mom handed the inn over to me, she wrote a sentence on the back of the sign. "Whenever Wanda gets tired, she can come home and sleep for a night."The rain had faded the ink over the years, but I still recognized every letter.Lizzie followed me there but stopped at the doorway instead of coming in. "Don't be mad at Blaine, Wanda. I was the one who said I wanted a place to paint winter landscapes. He thought this place was perfect, so he had them fix it up."I snarled, "Get out.""I can find somewhere else," Lizzie said, but her eyes swept over the brand-new easels and carpet already installed inside. "Blaine already paid for a year's

The gates of the resort closed behind me.Cole opened the car door for me and said, "All your belongings have been moved out of the Zahn residence. Should we go to your apartment downtown or straight to your aunt's place?""The apartment," I replied."What about the cabin?""I'll reclaim it tomorrow morning."As the car drove down the mountain road, I didn't look back.An hour later, Blaine was finally done with the exhibition's opening reception. When he returned to the lounge and saw the divorce papers on the table, his expression barely changed.Lizzie followed him in. "Did Wanda really leave? Should I ask the driver to go after her?""No," Blaine replied, flipping to the last page of the agreement.My signature was already there.His fingertip lingered over the date before he finally closed the document. "Whenever she gets angry, she stays at a hotel for a couple of days. Once she calms down, she'll come back.""But she left her wedding ring," said Lizzie."She took it

On the day of our divorce mediation, Blaine arrived 20 minutes late.He saw me in the hallway and immediately quickened his pace. "Why did you change your number?"I said, "My old number was part of our family plan. I canceled it.""You could've transferred it into your own name.""I don't see the need for that."He looked like he was about to say something else, but Cole pushed open the door to the mediation room.The mediator asked us whether we were willing to proceed with the divorce."Yes," I said."No," Blaine said.The moment his answer echoed through the room, I looked at him seriously for the first time."Why?" I asked.Blaine insisted, "We haven't reached the point where we have to get divorced.""You abandoned me in the snow, took Mom's keepsake from me, used my premarital property without permission, and forged an authorization document. Any of those is enough to ask for a divorce, don't you think?""I'll take care of all of it," Blaine said, pushing a document

"No," I said, answering Lizzie's question.Her eyes reddened as she reluctantly said, "He clearly loves you. He just never knew how to treat you right."I looked at her. "When someone is drowning, it doesn't matter whether the people on shore are debating whether they love her or not."Blaine approached from the end of the hallway.Lizzie immediately grabbed his sleeve. "Blaine, Sirius' death anniversary is coming up. You promised you'd go to the snowy mountains with me."He looked down at her hand.Every time she'd mentioned Sirius in the past, he had given in. But this time, he slowly pulled his sleeve free."I'll go pay my respects to him, but I won't go with you," he said."Why?""Because I owe him a debt. I don't owe you everything you want."Lizzie's face went absolutely pale. She tried to say something, but a staff member had already come to escort her in for questioning.Blaine walked over to me and handed me the signed divorce agreement. "The cabin authorization has
