Sunflowers in Twilight

Celia Donovan and Gemma Whitfield grew up as neighbors, separated only by a low wall. When they were five, Celia Donovan kissed her and said he would marry her, then promptly forgot all about it. Gemma Whitfield buried those words deep in her heart, stayed in the old house, watched him grow up, leave, and then return with another girl. More than a decade became a one-woman show, and by the time he finally remembered to knock on her door, her heart had already frozen solid.
