The Opera Star Who Killed Love

Synopsis

Eight years after my divorce, I ran into Edward Shaw at an art gallery. He'd become a celebrated opera star, while I was there in my grubby cleaning uniform, trying to wipe down the glass. After a few seconds of awkward silence, I managed to say, "Hi, Edward." He smiled and asked, "Want to grab coffee?" I politely declined. Just as I was about to leave, he called after me, "Claire, you've changed." I smiled. "There's nothing different about me. It's just that the twenty-year crush is gone."
