Chapter 2: The Forgotten Promise

One evening, as Henry sat alone in their cozy apartment, surrounded by the fading remnants of a life well-lived, he came across an old photo album tucked away in the back of a cupboard. As he flipped through its pages, each photograph a bittersweet reminder of days gone by, he stumbled upon a picture taken many years ago—a picture of him and Evelyn, young and carefree, dancing under a canopy of stars.A wave of nostalgia washed over Henry as he remembered the night they had taken that photograph—the night they had made a promise to each other, a promise to dance under the stars one last time. It had been a whimsical notion at the time, a romantic gesture born of youthful exuberance and boundless optimism. But now, as he gazed at the faded image of his beloved Evelyn, he felt a spark of hope ignite within him.Perhaps, he thought, it wasn't too late to fulfill that promise—to whisk Evelyn away from the confines of their apartment and into the night, to dance beneath the stars just like they had done all those years ago. It might not bring back her memories, but it would be a reminder of the love they had shared, a beacon of light in the darkness that threatened to consume them both.
