“Grace! What the hell are you doing? I know I owe you, but do you really have to throw the divorce papers at me? Is this some kind of game?
“Can you stop being so childish? We’ll have more kids in the future! I’m just worried Sar won’t take care of the baby properly! Once the kid is older, we can try again, why do you have to make such a big deal out of this?
“Do you have any idea what Sar has done for me? She accepted that we couldn’t get married, and she cried over it! Why can’t you be more like
her?”
I stayed silent, listening, my patience wearing thin.
Antonio didn’t notice.
By the end, he was practically gnashing his teeth.
“Think it over. If you can’t make up your mind, then we’ll get a divorce. This is your last chance. I can’t help you if you keep playing these games. Just think about it.
“Enough with the games, just get back here already. I still haven’t made you apologize to Sar for the cheap baby stuff you bought! Did you know our child almost went into anaphylactic shock from that crap? How could you be so cruel?”
I was not sure what triggered it.
But on the other end, I faintly heard a woman’s sobs.
“Antonio, don’t let me cause you guys any more trouble. It’s not worth it… It’s all my fault…”

I couldn’t help but laugh bitterly.
I hadn’t even gotten to dealing with him taking my things.
And now he had the nerve to accuse me?
Rolling my eyes, I couldn’t hold it in anymore.

“Are you out of your mind? The divorce papers are signed, do you think I’m playing some kind of game with you? What’s wrong with you? Did you hit your head? Go fix your brain at the factory!
“Am I a psychic now? Could I have predicted you’d steal my stuff and give it to someone else? Did you check the cameras? Call the cops? Hire a detective? You’ve got nothing, so stop slandering me! I’ll sue you for this!
“Apologize? You and your mistress should be the ones apologizing to me! You two should be on your knees, begging for forgiveness, that’s the least you owe me! Antonio, have some damn conscience! If you don’t
understand, go look it up! Do you even have any brains?”
I took a deep breath and finished, letting it all out.
The line went silent.
Even Sarah stopped crying.
I hung up, checked the boarding signs, and dragged my suitcase toward the gate.
Coming to Norland had always been a dream of mine.
Before we got married, Antonio promised he’d take me here.
But even after we divorced, he never kept that promise.
But now, I was here on my own.

I got lucky and caught Norland’s first snow of the season, and that night, I went with some new friends to see the Northern Lights.
It was breathtaking.
Antonio sent me a ton of messages and called a lot, but I couldn’t be
bothered.
I just blocked and deleted everything related to him.
A few quiet days passed, and then, just before heading home, I ran into Sarah and Antonio.
She was leaning into his arms, laughing, asking him to take a selfie with her.
Antonio’s expression was unreadable until he saw me.
He froze.
“Grace?” he said.
I furrowed my brows and turned to leave.
But he was faster. He stepped in front of me, blocking my way.
“Grace! I knew it. You’re just too stubborn, aren’t you? Not answering calls or messages, all to throw a tantrum and make me chase after you, right? You wouldn’t have come to Norland if you weren’t still following me. You’ve been keeping tabs on me, haven’t you?
