If Aurora had never graced his life, Craig could have survived these desolate and lonely days, merely existing, getting by without much thought to what he was missing.

But once he'd seen the colors of a flower, how could he ever go back to enduring the endless, monotonous beige of the desert?

"Aurora, I won't agree to a divorce. Don't think you can just walk away from me!"

"Is there even a point in saying that now?"
