“Didn’t you say you wanted to go back to when it first started?” Cordelia said softly, “This time last year, it’s when we got married.”

That was their first meeting. Cordelia had come to that small cabin in the pouring rain, her white wedding dress stained with soil. The old folks in the village had said that people who got married in such weather would not end up happy, but both of them were the happiest.

He held it while Cordelia pulled it back but gave up the struggle when she could not fight the man’s strength, allowing him to hold it.
