He can still remember the look on her face as he got out of her bed and made his way out of her bedroom, He didn't care at that moment he had gotten his itch scratched and he was fine with that, Deep down he still cared about her, but he let the gambling and alcohol take over his life, he had made his choice and that was to walk away from his wife and family to chase a dream that he knew would never come true.
Many years later he had returned to L.A to try and get his law practice back up and running, He hoped that he would run into her again, he was also hoping to pick up where they had left off when he left. But he wasn't expecting to find that things between them had changed..
He had been back in L.A. for a few weeks and tried to see her but she refused to have anything to do with him, he had been out one night with some of the few friends that he had left. That's when he saw her standing outside a restaurant waiting for someone, He walked over to her, "Hi Sharon how are you doing? She looked up to see him standing before her, "Hi Jack, I'm good, How are you? He looked at her again, "You look beautiful, she blushed, She looked at him, "I've been in town for a few weeks I've been trying to stop by and see but I guess you've been busy with work, She stared at him for a moment, " I have been very busy with work and life in general, "Plus there is nothing left between us jack, "we share children that's it. He looked at her, "yeah I know, She looked down to see her phone buzzing in her hand she quickly answered it, "well it was good to see you, I have to go now, "Oh ok, he stammered, have a good night, as he walked down the street, Once he got to the corner he saw a man walk up to her and kiss her on the cheek as he grabbed her by the hand as her face lit up, He had never seen her so happy and so much in love with someone like she was right now, Then he realized that the man was Andy Flynn, On one hand he was glad that she was happy and that she had someone to love and care about her, on the other hand he was mad at himself for walking away all those years ago leaving her alone, But that's when it finally hit him she really didn't need him anymore and that she was going to be just fine, She had a new love and she was happy, That's all he could really ask for her. He watched them walk into the restaurant hand in hand. He knew that she was better off and he would let her be happy, she deserved it…..
As they made their way into the restaurant andy looked at her "How was that you were talking to? He asked puzzled, "well your never going to believe who that was, he looked at her, "Now you've piqued my interest, She smiled at him, "It was jack, his smile faded quickly, as he felt his jaw tighten, she could sense that he was getting upset, "Andy honey look at me, he looked at her, her eyes bright and full of love for only him, "He's always going to be apart of my life we share children that's all we have in common now, "You have nothing to worry about as far as I'm concerned, " Sharon I'm not worried about you that's the furthest thought from my mind. " I just don't like the idea of him being here, "but you know what I'm not going to worry about it, I am happy with this life that you and I have created for ourselves, She smiled at him as she gently reached in to kiss him, "What was that for? " For being the sweetest, most loving man I ever met, and someone that I am madly in love with, "I love you too Sharon "Now lets enjoy this evening…..
