Abigail’s Second Life

If she were indifferent, Sean wouldn't have minded. She was vibrant, ambitious, and compassionate. An unjust marriage would only bring her anguish, resentment, and tears. "But you will-"

"You don't know what we've been through. I... I may never forget her in this lifetime," Sean interrupted.
