When I Walked Away, He Learned to Miss Me
When I turned eighteen and a man proposed, they threw him out, saying their daughter was born to be happy, not to marry young.
If they could see me slinking back now, they would be heartbroken.
I wiped my eyes and tucked the photo carefully into my suitcase.
I had about a hundred thousand euros left in my bank account—Marco’s allowances. I’d sell the bags and jewelry, maybe get another hundred thousand.
Not a total loss, I told myself.
With that, I left the apartment and headed for the ferry dock.
But in the underground parking garage of the terminal, I ran straight into Marco.
