Story
The story
On their third wedding anniversary, a husband waits alone with a cold dinner while his wife, Victoria, is photographed at JFK Airport in an emotional embrace with her first love, Julian Vance. When she finally returns, she dismisses the anniversary as a petty thing and leaves for her parents' place, and a pale pink invitation slips from her purse.
A stranger's mocking invitation draws him to a party, where Victoria performs the song he wrote during the darkest years of his depression and dedicates it to Julian, the man who once plagiarized his work. Julian then reveals he holds the original manuscripts, and the guests' whispers turn the past against him.
As his hands tremble and old shadows close in, he must decide what is left of the life and work he built for her.
Opening excerpt
She lay in his arms in a sheer nightgown, while he held the music scores I had spent three years writing.
Only then did I realize that the lyrics she once wrote about loving me were actually meant for someone else all along.
Perfect. She wanted her old flame, and I wanted my freedom.
