have you ever been left before?
have you left someone?
people leave that's the truth.
And I believe when they do, they never come back.
Well not the same, I guess.
some people tend to do mistakes.
but if you have a choice,
what will you choose?
will you be the one who left?
or will you be the one left behind?

STILL YOURS
Some love stories don't end. they just hit pause, waiting for the right time and maybe a little courage to hit play again. They thought they'd moved on new lives, new routines, new playlists. But when a surprise reunion throws them back into each other's orbits, all those once-buried feelings start bubbling up again. Sure, there were heartbreaks, awkward silences, and a few epic misunderstandings. But also? Laughter, late-night talks, and a love that never quite went away. Now, with the past behind them and maybe a little more wisdom , they're faced with one big question: is it time to finally give their love story the ending or a new beginning that it always deserved?
Wife Forgotten, a novella
My husband, Mark, is a good man; he's a strong man. When I needed him to step up with our kids as I finished dental school, he became our little family's rock without ever complaining or being bitter. He owned late-night feedings and diaper changes like a champ while I slept so I could be prepared for my classes in the morning. Now, it's my turn to return the favor. He's working hard on a high-profile case that could change the trajectory of his career if he wins this case. In marriage, sometimes a little sacrifice is needed, which is why on our tenth wedding anniversary, like the past six months, I'm celebrating alone, a sacrifice I'm more than willing to give to the man who's so proudly stood by my side all these years. That is until this betrayal . . . . . . well, let's just say it was never a sacrifice I was willing to make. For Readers: *This story is a novella. My goal is to keep it UNDER fifteen chapters with each chapter no more than 2K words. *Constructive critiques are welcomed. * I do try my best to proofread, but mistakes will slip through. Feel free to point them out!Complete
