Long Wait Long Love

Winnie trained as a designer and stopped working when she married Dylan, on the understanding that her giving it up was what made his career possible. Twenty-three years later he brought in someone younger and put her in Winnie's place. Winnie left for Milan and started designing again, and the work she did there was good enough to put her name back where it had been. Ethan had been there the whole time, backing her through the years when nobody else did, and what was between them turned into something else once she was on her own. She handled the divorce without making a scene of it. She built a second family out of what came after. Dylan was left by himself.
