His Bride Vanished Before the Vows

The story

Clara waited at the courthouse to marry Nathaniel, but he was at the hospital signing surgery papers for his childhood friend after her failed abortion. He begged Clara to trust him, even with thirty minutes left before their marriage appointment closed. So Clara made a colder choice. Before the vows, the bride vanished into her own life, leaving Nate to learn that saving another woman first can cost him the one woman he thought would always wait.
