The Boat I Chose

Seven years. Seven blank tokens. Each festival, Serafina watched fiancé Marco sail with Bianca, the “sister” he claimed meant nothing.

At the eighth festival, she draws red and boards a stranger’s boat. The rower is the man who waited all along. Marco chases, but she never looks back.
