""Daisy, do you know what your biggest mistake was?"" he asks coldly.
I remain silent, already knowing that nothing I say will change his mind.
""Saying yes when I asked you to marry me.""
His words cut deeper than I expected. Another anniversary has arrived, yet there is nothing worth celebrating between us.
""One day, Daisy, you'll regret choosing this marriage.""
I look away, refusing to let him see how deeply his words affect me.
For years, I believed that if I stayed long enough and tried hard enough, he might finally recognize how much he meant to me.
I was wrong.
***
Daisy gave everything she had to her marriage, believing that one day her distant husband would finally understand her feelings. Instead, his resentment and indifference gradually turned the life she once dreamed of into one filled with disappointment.
Eventually, their marriage came to an end.
What her former husband never discovered was that Daisy left with a secret that would change both of their lives forever.
In the years that followed, her little girl, Hope, became the center of her world. Daisy rebuilt her life piece by piece, determined to leave the painful memories of her marriage behind.
Five years later, the man she thought belonged to her past suddenly returns.
But why is he back?
Does he intend to take Hope away from her?
Or has he finally realized what he lost?

""Fine. I'll leave, and you won't have to see me again.""
He stops before walking away and turns back to me.
""I care about you more than anything else in this world. Remember this, Daisy—you and Hope are where I belong, and I'll take whatever path brings me back to both of you.""
My heart races despite everything that happened between us.
Five years ago, I would have given anything to hear those words.
Now, they may have come far too late."
