Ten Years a Pillow, Expired in One Night

Since thirteen, Clara was Vincent's "human pillow" — the only cure for his insomnia. For ten years she loved him in secret, while he saw her as a paid transaction. When the contract expired, Clara quietly left. Only then did Vincent realize he couldn't sleep without her. He followed her abroad, bought the apartment next door, sent flowers, overdosed on pills — but she had already let go. An expired wish card marked the end of their love.
