Sally and Richard had a love story that many people envied. They were a happy couple, deeply in love with each other. After two years of dating, they tied the knot and started their journey as a married couple.
But one day, Richard disappeared without a trace. Sally was beside herself with grief and spent years searching for him, hoping he would return. Despite the efforts of the authorities, Richard seemed to have vanished into thin air. It was a devastating blow for Sally, who was left with unanswered questions and a broken heart.
During this challenging time, there were other men who expressed interest in Sally. Friends and well-wishers encouraged her to move on and consider giving someone else a chance. But Sally couldn’t bring herself to do it. Her love for Richard remained strong, and she couldn’t imagine being with anyone else.
Amidst the turmoil, Sally found solace in her career as an engineer. She threw herself into her work and climbed the corporate ladder, taking trips across the country for various projects. On one of these work trips, she decided to attend a local church service on a Sunday.
As Sally made her way towards the exit after the service, she heard a familiar voice call out to her. She turned around, and there he was – Richard. The sight of him took her breath away, and she couldn’t believe her eyes. Richard also seemed surprised to see Sally standing there.
Confusion and curiosity filled the air as Richard spoke to Sally. He asked her to meet him at Tom’s Cafe on River Street in an hour. Sally agreed, eager to finally get some answers to the questions that had haunted her for years.
An hour later, Sally found herself sitting across from Richard at the cafe. He began by admitting that he owed her an explanation. Richard confessed that before Sally, he had a long-term relationship with his high school sweetheart, Megan. After seven years together, they decided to end things. However, Richard soon realized that he still had feelings for Megan even after marrying Sally.
Sally couldn’t believe what she was hearing. All those years of waiting and hoping, and Richard had been carrying a torch for someone else. It was a painful realization, but Richard sincerely apologized to Sally for everything he put her through.
Feeling a mix of emotions, Sally returned home and made a phone call to her friend Jake. She invited him to dinner, wanting his support and company during this difficult time.
