I blessed their union. I stood at the altar, cloaked in God, and gave her to another man. A good man, kind, faithful, blind. But the moment I touched her hand, I knew her soul was already mine. Ophelia, my best friend's bride. The woman I've watched through candlelight, through keyholes, through prayer. Not out of lust. Out of devotion.

Now, across the hallway and behind closed doors, she lives two lives-one for him, and one where she lets me ruin her in secret. She was never supposed to be mine. But I claimed her anyway. And I will not give her back. Not to him. Not to God. Not even to heaven.

Because I loved her first. And I'll burn for her last.

PAUL I cheated on my fiancée. Sophie and I were building our future. In love, happy, peaceful. Then she found a lump in her breast and I made the worst choice: I numbed my fear by sleeping with someone else. My worst mistake and my biggest regret. Now I see Sophie around town with him. She's radiant and laughing with people who actually show up. I'm trying to learn how to be a man who does. If she lets me, I'll spend the rest of my life proving I can choose her when it's hardest. If she lets me... SOPHIE I thought the promise was in sickness and in health. But he buried his fear in someone else. On the same night, I walked into a bookstore and meet the gentle giant owner who invites me to his book club full of misfits. I'm laughing again, I smile more than I ever have, I heal my heart. My ex says he can learn to stay, but my bookstore owner keeps showing up like it's as easy as breathing. I don't know what the future holds; I don't know if I'll win this battle against cancer, but I do know I'm done wasting time on people that love only when it's easy. CALLUM She came in to Rivers & Rhodes Bookstore and asked for books with happy endings only. I gave her a recommendation, an invitation, and an offer of friendship. Now, this beautiful brave woman is completely under my skin. I'm not here to win a competition against him. I'm here because choosing someone, second by second, is the only way I understand love.
