Night had fallen, and the bright moonlight seemed unnaturally pale. Just then, his phone rang. It was Celia Goodwin. A wave of disgust washed over him, and he instantly declined the call.

If only Celia had stayed out of his life after she moved abroad, he thought. If she had never come back, he and Winona would still be happy together.

A sharp pain seized him. At that exact moment, he saw Elvis and Winona emerge from the front gate.

They were holding hands, talking and laughing as they set out for a walk. Elvis gently tucked a stray strand of hair behind Winona's ear, his eyes filled with tenderness. He said something that made her laugh, a genuine, happy sound.
