After a Family Trip Without Me
"You had such a bright future, yet you gave up your career. I tried to talk you out of it, but you wouldn't listen."
I smiled wryly and said, "Ms. Tillingham, I certainly made a huge mistake back then. I shouldn't have walked away from everything. That was my fault."
"It's okay. You're still young. What matters is that you keep moving forward."
We had a lovely meal together, reminiscing about the past and the good old times.
I decided it was time to return to work and rejoin a pharmaceutical company.
On my way home, I received a message from an old friend. It read, "Hey Athena, I heard you're back. Let's meet up tonight."
