The Story of Wendy Yaeger
Southbranch
One day, when I woke up from my nap, I felt a familiar hand holding mine—it was rough and broad.
Then, I saw Luke slipping a wedding ring onto my finger. It was a ring that I had sold back then.
A vibrant bouquet stood on my nightstand too, and the aroma of lilies filled the room.
Luke said, "Today's our wedding anniversary, and I promised you that we'd spend it together. See, Wendy? I kept my promise. I'm giving you back the old Luke you used to know. Please don't leave, okay?"
The ring hung loosely on my finger. I was nothing but skin and bones now, so it could no longer bind me.
