Nala Age: 26 I look down at the man kneeling before me. As whispers ring out around us, I can't help but feel embarrassed by it all. "Stand up, Mr. Winters. You're making everyone uncomfortable." As my ex-husband looks up, I see desperate tears in his eyes. "Nala, please... give me another chance. I know I've wronged you this whole time, so please... let me make this up to you." I clench my fists as I watch this pitiful man. Once upon a time, I would have taken him back. Even now, I love him with all my heart. It's something I can't help. However, I can't get weak now. I'm not alone anymore.

"Seeing you at the end of the aisle. Waiting. Smiling. Crying. Knowing that was my future. That you were choosing me." "Always choosing you." "Even when I'm difficult?" "Especially when you're difficult. That's when it matters most." We sit in comfortable silence. The city humming outside. Our first night as husband and wife. "I keep waiting for something to go wrong," I admit. "What do you mean?" "Everything's too good. The wedding was perfect. We're married. Ivy's happy. The shelter's being built. My career is thriving. It feels like waiting for the other shoe to drop."
