Edward’s jaw had already tightened. The only reason he stayed in the car was because I was sitting beside him.
He spoke to the driver without raising his voice. “Have security deal with him. He doesn’t come near us again.”
Arthur grew smaller in the rearview mirror, still screaming something I couldn’t make out, his face flushed and
desperate. It had nothing to do with me anymore.
I looked at the man beside me and let my thoughts drift back.
The Sterling family and mine had had an arrangement for years. If not for Arthur, Edward was the man I was supposed
to marry. I gave that up when I fell in love with Arthur and turned down the match.
After that, Edward and I were nothing more than acquaintances. That had been true in my first life, too.
But after I died, I learned things. Somehow, in the space between that life and this one, I came to understand the whole
story. Edward never married – not after I was gone, not ever. He lived out the rest of his years alone.
In his will, he had left a single request – to be buried beside me.
So I knew. Whatever Edward felt for me, it ran just as deep as anything Arthur had ever claimed to feel. Maybe deeper
Because Edward had never once asked me to carry the weight of it.
Arthur came home that night like a man walking through fog. Sophie hurried to meet him at the door her expression
soft and eager.
“Professor, I’m feeling so much better – you got to me just in time. I’m just a little dizzy and nauseous that s
probably my anxiety acting up again.”
