Chapter 9 - The Woman Who Once Left Without Saying Goodbye Returned to the Christmas Tree Where Everything BeganEvery Christmas, Evelyn avoided the old Moretti estate.
Too many memories.
Too much pain.
But five years after leaving, she returned.
The house had been renovated.
The broken window was gone.
The nursery was now a library.
The tree stood in the same place.
Underneath it was one box.
Adrian handed it to her.
“What is this?”
“Open it.”
Inside was her old wedding ring.
He had never thrown it away.
Evelyn stared at him.
“You kept it?”
“Every day.”
“Why?”
“Because it reminded me I had someone worth becoming better for.”
She cried.
Then placed the ring back on her finger.
“I choose you.”
He looked at her.
May you like
“Again?”
“Again.”
