Goodbye to You All
As he walked down the empty street, one sentence repeated in his mind—
"After everything we've done to her over the years, how could a few words make it right?"
That was the truth, wasn't it?
He had hurt Jess too much. Too deeply.
How could a few words possibly erase all of that?
If it were him, he wouldn't forgive himself either.
That night, he went back to the hospital, but the doctor told him Jessica had already been discharged.
He didn't try to find her. Instead, the next evening, after work, he waited outside her company.
