“I know you think he can give you something I couldn’t. But I love you, Sandra. I’ve always loved you. I chose you. And I don’t regret it. Not for a single day.”

“Please… choose me too.”
Her shoulders shook, just a little.
“Give me a chance,” I begged. “Just one more chance. Let me fix this. Let me fix us. I believe in second chances. I believe in us. Please, Sandra… please.”
The night wind carried jasmine from the gardens below. The moon lit her silhouette like something sculpted in sorrow. The city hummed faintly in the distance, unaware of the war happening in our chest cavities.
