Books Like They Both Die At The End

On the night of my 30th birthday, I waited until the early hours of the morning, but my husband, Theodore Hawk never showed up. Instead, I came across an Instagram post from his childhood sweetheart, Emily Gallagher. [What romantic is not the starry night, it is having you by my side.] In the picture, she was wearing a delicate, sky-blue camisole that revealed just enough to charm and seduce. A man stood close behind her, his hand firmly gripping her waist. The scene was set in the seaside villa that Theodore had gifted her, their figures intimately entwined under the soft glow of the night. Someone had commented beneath the post: [I can’t stand you two being this lovey-dovey all the time! Just get married already!] Emily had responded with a shy-face emoji. I had just liked the post when Theodore, who I had failed to reach all night, blew up my phone with calls. "Are you out of your mind, Camilla? Emi and I grew up together! If we wanted to be together, we would’ve done so long ago! Why are you being so petty?" Looking at how Theodore gently held her in his arms, comforting her, I realized something. Letting go of someone you’ve loved for seven years... can take only a moment.

When I was in college, my mom had terminal cancer, and our family company collapsed due to heavy debts. Just when I was at my lowest, my childhood friend Zach Hall rushed back from overseas. For seven years, he stayed by my side and helped me heal. …Until the night before our engagement ceremony, when I was diagnosed with terminal stomach cancer. I wanted to tell Zach, but instead, I overheard a conversation between him and the lead surgeon who had operated on my mother. "Zach, your fiancee's mother could've been saved back then. But you stopped me from treating her, just so Jessica could get that poor woman's corneas. If Jessica is the one you love, why marry your fiancee?" "I do feel guilty toward Annie, but I don't regret it. It was the only way for Jess to pick up a brush again and keep chasing her dreams." Through the crack in the door, I saw clearly the tenderness on Zach's face when he mentioned Jessica. "What if Annie finds out?" the surgeon asked. Zach fell silent, rubbing the band on his ring finger. "I don't know. I've already decided to marry her. I'll love her, protect her, and spend the rest of my life making it up to her." The pain hit me so hard at that moment that I almost collapsed, as if my heart was being ripped out.

Am Abend vor der Hochzeit, der Verlobte, Professor für Geschichte, Theo Günther, feierte jedoch mit seiner krebskranken erste Liebe eine traditionelle Hochzeit in einem abgelegenen Dorf.

Selbst wenn ich bereits ein Zertifikat mit Elina Meyer habe, bleibt sie nur eine niedere Konkubine.“ Mit den Glückwünschen der Anwesenden tranken sie den Hochzeitswein und betraten das Brautgemach. Ich jedoch, sah alles ohne zu weinen oder zu schreien, reservierte ruhig einen Termin für die Abtreibung. Von fünfzehn bis dreißig Jahren habe ich Theo fünfzehn Jahre lang geliebt.

Später trat ich der isolierten geologischen Forschungseinheit in der Antarktis bei, ließ Theo nur einen Scheidungsvertrag und ein Scheidungsgeschenk. Doch aus irgendeinem Grund, Theo Günther, der mich stets verachtete, erlangte plötzlich weißes Haar in einer einzigen Nacht.

"I have never done this," I muttered, hypnotized by his eyes. "Nobody knows everything." He answered and gave me his hand. "You are so... so... So... beautiful."
