Chapter 18 - THE WOMAN WHO WONOn the deck of Arthur's yacht, Margaret watched the sunset.

Orange light spread across the ocean.

Arthur sat beside her.

"You look happy."

"I am."

"You fought a difficult war."

Margaret smiled.

"Yes."

"And won?"

She looked toward the horizon.

"I thought winning meant keeping everything."

She paused.

Arthur took her hand.

Margaret squeezed his fingers.

The woman who had once been thrown out of her own home was no longer angry.
