(Sorry to skip the time, but I figured that if I ever wanted to finish this story, I had better skip a few months. My attention span is not so long, so I had to spit this out before I got bored and gave up. Thanks J)
Ethan sighed as he read the wooden sign painted with bold gold letters reading "Welcome to Harmony." He felt the same stab of pain coarse through his veins as the events of a Sunday seven months ago played like slow motion through his mind. Even now, he still could not believe what Theresa had done to him. He remembered her words, her apologies. He remembered leaving her there in that room, tears streaming down both their faces. He remembered getting into his car and never looking back. He was honest when he said he never wanted to see Theresa again, and from what his mother told him, she too had left Harmony not long after the wedding fiasco. He was hoping to find a brand new start here, but as he drove his car through the town, everything he saw reminded him of her. He knew this was going to be harder than he had ever imagined.
Ethan got to his hotel room with just enough time left to change before heading to his meeting. He had just been appointed as a lawyer for the doctors' union at Harmony Hospital. Today, he had a meeting with the Chief-of-Staff and the Board of Directors. Tomorrow would be his first official day of work. It felt good for him to be back to practicing law after spending the past few months traveling around the New England states, looking for his sanity. He was incredibly grateful for this opportunity, and ready to dive head first into the job.
Author's Note: I promise that the next chapter will be much more detailed and include dialogue. The preceding two chapters are more of a prologue to the next one. I hope to have the final chapters written soon, so please check back. Thanks for reading!
