On her wedding day, Anne sat in a quiet hotel room, clutching a letter from her late mother, Diane. Diane had penned letters for every significant moment in Anne’s life, including this one. As she unfolded the familiar handwriting, tears welled in her eyes.
“Anne, my dear,” the letter began. “Today is your big day… What truly matters is that you’ve chosen the right man…” Doubts flooded Anne’s mind. Had she really made the right choice?
Months earlier, Anne had been dating Mark, a successful businessman, but their relationship felt safe, lacking passion. Roger, her longtime friend, had always been there, offering support and warmth. During a brief illness, he brought her soup, reminding her of her dreams and encouraging her to stand firm in her choices.
Yet, when Anne found herself pregnant, she felt compelled to stick with Mark, who wanted her to quit her job. Roger’s declaration of love haunted her, but she pushed it away, focusing on her impending wedding.
Now, as she read her mother’s words, clarity struck: “The right man will be by your side no matter what…” Tears fell as she realized the truth. Wiping her face, she stood, her heart racing.
In a flurry, Anne grabbed her purse and rushed out. Minutes later, she stood at Roger’s door, her heart pounding. When he opened it, confusion flickered in his eyes. Without hesitation, she kissed him deeply, knowing in that moment that Roger was the one. This was just the beginning of their story.
