The story so far is, Sadie, born and raised in Australia, found her grandma's diary after her mother's passing. Intrigued by the diary and her mother's German background, she's on her way to Germany to meet her family over there.

David.
My partner of three and bit years. He was the love of my
life, or at least so I thought. I was twenty-four when I moved from Tasmania to
Sydney. I had applied for a job as an events manager, not believing I’d have a
chance. But I got the job. Same day I got the good news, I was so excited I missed
the bus. It was pouring rain. And that was when I met David, when he offered me
half of his umbrella. Yes, that’s the kind of man he was. Well, I assume still
is. Just not with me anymore, but with the other woman. Apparently, the one
who’s more organised and more mature than me.
Sad.
More so, because I really miss him. I did love him and
without wanting to admit it to myself, I still do.
Thank you all for your support and kind comments.
I do appreciate each single one of them!

I think organised and mature might totally be the kind of superficial things a guy who share umbrellas is looking for.
ReplyDeleteI truly hope she finds someone who doesn't put labels on her.
Thanks Linda. Appreciate your comment :-)
DeleteGreat snippet!
ReplyDeleteThanks Allyson :-)
DeletePerhaps Sadie can be comforted by these words:
ReplyDelete"Make the most of your regrets...To regret deeply is to live afresh." Henry David Thoreau
I look forward to see how Sadie reacts and if she can "live afresh."
Nice 8!
I like that saying. Have to remember it. Thanks, Frank!
DeletePoignant and a tinged with regret. Very nice writing.
