“I can't marry you right now,” I told David after he asked me the question. He didn't say a word, he just got up and left, leaving me alone and confused.
He didn't say where he was going and I had made up my mind that I would find him. I drove all over town as my eyes fogged up from the tears.
My heart was broken. Maybe I was too hasty in my decision. After all, I can't imagine spending the rest of my life with anyone but David. He didn't understand that my first marriage didn't end so well, leaving me shy from marrying again.
I have made up my mind. I will keep looking until I find him and tell him that I would marry him after all. I can see clearly now.

Thank you so much Mark. For some reason, this is the story the photo prompt pulled from me. Haha! How do you explain “inspiration.” LOL!
Inspiration is when it works.
Yes, it is and it’s always wonderful when it works!

There’s nothing like the feeling you captured the emotion or story before it got away
That is so true and unfortunately, I don’t experience it very often. LOL!

It’s difficult to be confidant about marrying once another marriage has ended.
But, love will find a way of bringing them together again.
Have a super weekend, PJ.

I hope she finds him and I’m sure that once she explains why she turned him down the first time, he’ll understand. Lovely story.
Thank you so much and I believe you are right! 🙂
