Sally and Richard had a love that seemed unbreakable. They were a happy couple, deeply in love with each other. After two wonderful years of dating, they made the decision to tie the knot and begin their journey as a married couple. Their love story was envied by many.

But one day, Richard disappeared without a trace. Sally was devastated and spent years searching for him, hoping he would return. Despite the efforts of authorities, Richard had seemingly vanished into thin air. This was a devastating blow for Sally, left with unanswered questions and a broken heart.

During this challenging time, other men expressed interest in Sally. Friends and well-wishers encouraged her to move on and consider giving someone else a chance. However, Sally couldn’t bring herself to do it. Her love for Richard remained strong, and she couldn’t imagine being with anyone else.

Amidst the turmoil, Sally found solace in her career as an engineer. She threw herself into her work and climbed the corporate ladder, traveling across the country for various projects. On one of these work trips, she decided to attend a local church service on a Sunday.

As Sally made her way towards the exit after the service, she heard a familiar voice calling out to her. She turned around, and there he was – Richard. The sight of him took her breath away, and she couldn’t believe her eyes. Richard also seemed surprised to see Sally standing there.

Confusion and curiosity filled the air as Richard spoke to Sally. He asked her to meet him at Tom’s Cafe on River Street in an hour. Sally agreed, eager to finally get some answers to the questions that had haunted her for years.

An hour later, Sally found herself sitting across from Richard at the cafe. He began by admitting that he owed her an explanation. Richard confessed that before Sally, he had a long-term relationship with his high school sweetheart, Megan. After seven years together, they decided to end things. However, Richard soon realized that he still had feelings for Megan, even after marrying Sally.

Sally couldn’t believe what she was hearing. All those years of waiting and hoping, and Richard had been carrying a torch for someone else. It was a painful realization, but Richard sincerely apologized to Sally for everything he put her through.

Feeling a mix of emotions, Sally returned home and made a phone call to her friend Jake. She invited him to dinner, wanting his support and company during this difficult time.
