Chapter 20 

The moment Adrian Graham’s boots touched the borderland ground, the dry wind lifted the edge of his bleached collar

Excuse me, ma’am,” he said, stopping an old woman selling lamb skewers and holding out a worn photograph. Have you seen her?” 

The old woman squinted. Oh, that’s the new bride at Colonel Lawson’s place!” 

She pointed up the mountain to a small house, its entrance adorned with floral wreaths and a Just Marriedsign. The reception’s today!” 

As the bus screeched along the winding mountain road, blood oozed from Adrian’s reopened woundleft from climbing the

Catch the bouquet!Passengers shoved past him. Colonel Lawson married the prettiest nurse from the military hospital!” 

Amid the crowd, Adrian caught sight of the wedding banner

In the distance, the groom was hugging the bride. Her veil fluttered in the mountain wind, revealing the face Adrian had longed to see every sleepless night

The crowd surged forward, confetti hitting his shoulders like bullets

Liana!” 

The name exploded inside his head

Collapsed in despair, clutching his funeral photo

Vacant and lifeless in the hospital when she discovered the truth

But now, she was smilingat another man

Kiss her! Kiss her!” 

Amid the chants, Adrian watched Miles lower his head and kiss Liana

Her eyes closed in that moment, and she looked exactly as she had on their wedding nightwhen he first carried her to bed

The love letters Adrian had carried across thousands of miles suddenly felt like a lead weight in his jacket

Tears mixed with sweat and dripped from his chin as he finally looked up at the wedding

the words Happy Wedding Daywas 

somewhat like the blood that had seeped from his forehead when he knelt before the Langston family’s door

Richard Langston had broken three of his ribs with a wooden pole

Vivian Whitmore had burned every piece of Liana’s clothes in front of him

Even the executive officer who had always favored him said, Adrian, it’s fate. Let it go.” 

But he wouldn’t

He’d checked every outbound train manifest, even begged the reconnaissance captain he once defeated in a tournament…
