She handed me Sarah’s final letter.
At the bottom, it said:
“If my little boy ever finds Margaret again, let him know that one of the kindest women in the world once saved his childhood.”
Daniel stood beside me, tears filling his eyes.
At that moment, I realized that our meeting wasn’t simply an unexpected love story.
It was also the continuation of a chapter from my past that I thought had ended forever.
Today, we are still living together.
And every evening, we still sit at the same table.
But now Daniel never secretly adds anything to my drink.
One evening, he smiled and asked:
“Do you still believe I love you?”
I took his hand.
“Yes. But the most important part of love is trust, Daniel. And we must never lose that again.”
