In a long-forgotten corner of the city, an aging police detective keeps a lonely, rain-soaked vigil, waiting as he does every year for a goodbye that will break his heart. Vincent was a rookie cop when he met her. He never expected to fall so deeply in love. Never expected the summer could hold such joy. Never knew the world could be so much larger than he suspected. She was everything a man could ever want.
And nothing he could ever have. In this latest Uncollected Anthology story, acclaimed writer Annie Reed takes an age-old myth and twists it into a modern tale of love, sacrifice, and the cost one mortal man must pay when he learns the truth about the ancient gods.
