The Two of Them Share a Good Night

"I do, I do," Melanda murmured. She was too emotional to say anything other than those words. Mike stood up and put the proposal ring on Melanda's finger. Then he brought Melanda's hand to his mouth and kissed it.

The two people who loved each other hugged each other tightly.

It was quiet. There was no sound other than the soft music, but Melanda felt like a movie was playing in her mind. She couldn't help but replay the past in her mind: the love she had since she was a child, the night six years ago that started off sweet but ended in a heartbreaking manner, the life of a single mother in a new city for six years, her reunion with Mike, the car accident…

But this hug was so warm and comforting. Everything in the past was worth it, right?
