About Eight Years His Girlfriend, Thirty Days His Downfall Novel
"By my third month at the company, I discovered that my colleagues had been calling me ""the old crow"" behind my back.
The nickname came from Callan Thorne's stuck-up secretary Sable Quinn.
Because at 32, I was still clinging to an eight-year relationship, endlessly waiting for that marriage certificate that never came.
I confronted Callan: ""Your precious secretary are calling me 'the old crow.' Did you know that?""
He didn't even bother to look up:
""Come on, Sable jokes too much, you know that. You’re 32—are you seriously arguing with a little girl?""
Then he looked at me and gave a faint chuckle
""You know what? You gotta admit—it kinda fits.""
My heart felt like it was being crushed by an ice-cold fist. Eight years of devoted love, and to him it was all just some amusing joke.
I turned and walked away, submitted my resignation, and blocked him on everything.
But suddenly, that ever-composed man completely lost it.
""Rowan, I’m begging you, please come back."""
