Build a new life after a public wedding disaster.
During simultaneous ceremonies, Eleanor Vance abandons her groom to chase the neighboring bridegroom, who confessed he could not marry his dying fiancée because he still loved Eleanor. Left at the altar as his mother collapsed, the narrator locked eyes with the other jilted bride and proposed they marry each other. They wed, raised two children together, and built a steady home. Years later, Eleanor reappeared tearful and repentant, only to find her former husband calmly loading their kids into a car, dismissing her to collect his wife from work.
