The sun slipping through the blinds awakened her. As she rolled over, stretching and reaching for her phone she found herself enveloped in the smell of his scent left behind on the sheets. Suddenly, it dawned on her “It happened again!” She was in disbelief. She’d vowed to wait until right person. Maybe even marriage. She hadn’t talked to him in some time and wasn’t expecting to, but when the message came through at 2:17AM she couldn’t resist. It just felt right. She was headed home from a night of bar-hopping with the girls. Maybe it was the alcohol or her hormones…or both. Regardless, it left her, once again, empty and regretful.
They had been together for some time and she was ready to settle down. Many of her friends were getting engaged and starting families. She wondered when her time would come. She longed to have a family. Her parents divorced when she was five, so she had little to no idea of what marriage looked like. However, she believed she would make a good wife one day. He hinted around at a long term relationship, but whenever she sought the next step he would become uncertain and abruptly disappear. She believed she deserved better, but remained with him.
One afternoon while sitting in on a meeting in the office conference room her phoned vibrated. She looked down and saw his name. It was a message from him, “We need to talk”…
Stay tuned.
