For three years, Anna spent every New Year's Eve alone while her husband, Michael, claimed he was busy with work. She never complained, until a social media post exposed the truth: every year, he had been watching fireworks with Claire, his childhood sweetheart. When Anna finally asked for a divorce, Michael and his family treated her pain like a tantrum. Claire flaunted the thirteen years she had shared with him, and Michael only realized what he had lost when Anna walked away with nothing but her dignity. Free from a marriage that made her feel like a stand-in, Anna opened a small leather shop and rebuilt her life with her own hands. But when Michael came back full of regret, could an apology ever undo three years of being forgotten?
