However, it was also a call to action. I realized how fortunate I was as I looked at my friends. I had the strength to break free and start over thanks to their love and support.
Karen leaned over to get a better look at me.
Penny for your consideration?” I had a chuckle.
Just contemplating my gratitude. for you and everybody else. for finally having the strength to advocate for myself.
She gave a warm smile.
Emma, you’ve always displayed that courage. You only required a brief reminder. A tall, distinguished-looking man with kind eyes entered as soon as the restaurant door opened.
He looked around, recognized our vivacious gathering, and waved at us.
Karen waved back. As he headed towards the bar, Karen saw my look wait on him and poked me energetically. ” Who is it?” I asked out of curiosity.
Gracious, that is Alex.
She winked. “He’s a regular here, very charming, and single.” Perhaps another companion for you to get to be aware?” I jumped with excitement. This might have been a sign of the new beginnings that everyone was celebrating.
I embraced my age and life with renewed enthusiasm from that point on.
Mike, too? He was left to deal with the consequences of his actions, realizing too late that he had lost a woman who deserved much more from him than he could ever provide.
My process was simply starting, and I was prepared to confront it with all the strength and versatility I had rediscovered inside myself.
Additionally, there might have been room for a little romance somewhere along the way.
