Feather Drifting in the Wind
After Caesar Shepherd went overseas with his lover, Florence Lane, about a month passed with no news about Ivy Rivers.
Only then did Caesar realize something was wrong.
When he had time, he gave his secretary, Morgan, a call. "How's the wound on Ivy's leg? Is she still angry at me for taking her skin for Florence's skin graft?"
The opposite side of the line was quiet for a long time. Then, Morgan said softly, "Ms. Rivers was discharged from the hospital and left the residence a month ago."
Caesar finally remembered Ivy's eyes full of despair and determination on the day he protected Florence in his arms when the hotel collapsed.
That wasn't sorrow.
No.
That was goodbye.
