And when you think about me all of those years ago your standing face to face with I told you so- Good luck
,babe!- Chappell RoanClaras eyes gazed out the window, her mind unconsciously wandering to Lynn, the love she left behind. She thought she had found with happiness with him. Even saying that felt so wrong. But the truth lurked in the shadows.
At night, Clara would wake up next to him, feeling empty. Her head in her hands, she'd wonder where it all went wrong. She was just a wife, a role she never truly fit
Memories of Lynn crept in,their laughter,kisses, and how she felt so safe in her embrace and felt like she truly wanted it.
Clara's heart still ached for her
"When you think about me all of those years ago" Lynn's words repeated constantly in Clara's mind. They had parted ways, each chasing a life society deemed acceptable
Now Clara stood face to face with the realization "I told you so". Lynn had warned her that marrying Ryan would suffocate her soul and he was not what she needed .

Clara's heart pounded as she stood outside Lynn's door. She took a deep breath and knocked
Lynn opened the door,obvious shock on her face.
"I've come over to tell you I should've listened" Clara said her voice struggling to come out
Lynn's lips curved into a gentle smile "I've waited for you"
Their lips met, it felt as if nothing ever happened it felt right
