An Unexpected Legacy, What My Ex Left Behind!

When a relationship ends, we often expect time to soften the edges, to blur the past into something distant and quiet. I believed that too. After twenty years with a man I thought I understood, betrayal shattered our bond with finality. He remarried within months, a swift confirmation that our chapter had closed. I moved on, slowly rebuilding a life grounded in peace and joy. I had no intention of revisiting that story, no reason to believe our paths would ever cross again in any meaningful way.
