I Called Off the Wedding and Left for Northel

Synopsis

The night before we were supposed to get our marriage license, my fiancé Michael Lane handed me back our marriage papers. "Claire, let's call off the registration tomorrow. Evelyn's really upset, and I need to be with her," he said. "I booked you a group tour to Willow Springs. Go relax and clear your mind," he added. I took the marriage papers and nodded. He breathed out, looking relieved, and told me I was being really mature about it. He had no idea I never went to Willow Springs. I handed the marriage papers back to my parents and accepted the assignment from the State Museum to join the Northel Mural Restoration Initiative. This time, I wasn't even going to say goodbye.
