“I have another woman,” her husband admits. “I love her and I’m not going to pretend there’s still something between us. The children are already grown. As a father, I did what I had to. And now I want to live for myself—by the one I’m drawn to.”
“And what about me?” Alexandra doesn’t believe what she hears.
“You’re only forty, Alexandra. Maybe you’ll meet a man too and fall in love—and then you’ll understand that it’s even better this way.”
“But I love you!”
“The decision is made. I’m filing for divorce. And you won’t stop me.”
The man I thought was closest to me left for another. The divorce was hard, but I managed—I stood up, and over time I was able to let go of the past.
Five years later, fate brings us together again—at our daughter’s engagement. One look at my ex is enough to understand that everything long ago belongs to the past. Or is it self-deception, and my feelings haven’t disappeared for good? It seems my ex has decided to win me back.
