“The nerve... the utter audacity of your actions Celeste.. they disgust me”
The way he looked at me caused my heart to shatter into a million pieces. There was so much I wanted to explain, but I wouldn’t dare. It wasn’t my place to.
“You wouldn’t understand Arthur.”
“All I understand is that you’re marrying my brother.. you’re his now.” He clenched his jaw and fists.
“And I should leave you alone.” His bright green eyes glowed as he walked towards me.
His large hand caressed my cheek and I felt my heart quicken at his touch.
“But I can’t... I don’t want to. I can’t give you up. Not you Celeste.
Not ever.”

Arthur and Celeste vowed to stay true to one another after a passionate summer before Arthur left to war.
After 5 years he returns home to celebrate his older brother’s engagement only to find that the woman he loved is on his brother’s arm.
They’re angry, confused, frustrated, anxious but most of all... they are completely and utterly in love with one another.
