Tears roll silently down her cheeks, all those years of not knowing. Of not going back. How one decision can shape a whole future.

Zoe had never married and had given up her one chance of happiness to find herself. But all for what. And now she would never have to chance to see max again. He'd gone. Taken from life. 40 years to late to make amends.

She had never stopped loving him. Never. Their memories were as one could describe bittersweet. She now sat mourning the death of what could have been. Things could have turned out so differently.

If only she'd have gone back to holby. The flame could have been rekindled and who knows maybe they would have been happy.

Zoe knew little of what had become of Max's life. She had been invited to his wedding 30 years ago. But had decided against going, as she was still lonely and seeing him again would have brought back all the feelings of leaving once again.

The armchair beneath her sighed. Zoe had loved him and had never moved on. Why had she left? Not even she knew the answer.

His smile entered her mind. His cheeky comments, his witty come backs and his French. His intelligence was so underrated by many. He'd let Zoe in and she'd let him in more than anyone else. It had hit him hard that she could just walk away but at the time nothing was going right and Zoe needed to escape.

They'd shared so many good times. He'd brought her flowers. Maybe she's take some to his grave sometime. The funeral was next week. She'd been invited, she had to go pay her respects things had become distant but he meant a lot to her.

The time they'd nearly got caught by Robyn and lofty. A smile shined through her tears, the memories she held were remembered with great fondness. But there was always the pain of trying to forget. It never worked he'd be with her until the day she died. It was almost like the words till death do us part. The world is always filled with what ifs. And no Zoe was living one.
