Husband goes on vacation alone, unwilling to wait for his wife. A week later, he returns from the Bahamas and discovers this…

Two days passed, filled with mundane routine work and quiet evenings at home. The rollercoaster of emotions from a couple of days ago had begun to subside, leaving Janice with an unusual sense of tranquility mixed with curiosity about what the future held. One evening, after a long day at work, Janice was heading back home.

As she walked along the familiar route, she saw a figure that made her heart flutter. There, standing a little distance from her front gate, was Dylan. He stood tall under gentle evening light, his silhouette casting a long shadow on the pavement.

He was looking her way, a smile illuminating his face. In his hands, he held a bunch of flowers, their vibrant colors a stark contrast to the fading light of the day. His appearance was significantly different from their last encounter.

He was well-groomed and dressed neatly, a far cry from the disheveled man she had first met. His eyes, once haunted by despair, were now twinkling with hope and what seemed like happiness. At that moment, Janice remembered her ex-husband’s father’s words.

You, my dear, were never meant to settle. She now understood the meaning of his words.
