Story
Audrey gave Victor two decades at his side, and eight of those years as his hidden lover. She no longer wants to be his fallback while he longs for Helena. Left to fend for herself after a car accident, she burns their keepsakes and plans to leave for Spain. Victor, though, may not realize what she is worth until she is gone.
