I gave him seven years of my heart.Seven years of devotion. Seven years of standing in the quiet places of his life where no one ever looked.And he still forgot me.He forgot the woman who held his home together.He forgot the marriage he assumed would always wait for him.He forgot the love I kept offering long after it stopped being returned.So I walked away.I left the house that never felt like mine, the name that never protected me, and the man who only noticed my absence when it was too late.Now the world beyond Andovarre opens like a door I never dared to touch.A world where I am seen.A world where I am wanted.A world where my voice echoes louder than the expectations that once drowned it.My heart is bruised, but it still beats.My spirit is scarred, but it still rises.And when the past comes chasing-when the man who forgot me finally remembers-I must decide whether the love I once gave so freely is worth giving again.This is my chance to choose myself.My chance to stand in the light instead of the shadows.My chance to rebuild a life that belongs to me...even if he finally realizes he was never whole without me.
