All Over Again
Chapter 1
I know, I know. I'm in idiot.
After watching Veronica go to washroom, I sat there on the couch, hoping to pinpoint what had gone so wrong in our relationship… other than the fact that I had forgotten our anniversary.
In my mind I forced myself into thinking that this was just another obstacle we had to face. But my heart knew different.
Was this marriage a disappointment for Veronica? I don't think so… But her expressions she gave told other wise and I wondered where that left us for the future.
Soon, more questions kept swirling in my head. Does she regret ever marrying me? Is she thinking of leaving me?
If you were to ask myself these questions 25 years ago, I could tell you confidently that she would never regret marrying me and she would never leave me. But now, I'm scared even to think about it.
It wasn't just the forgotten anniversary that brought us here. No, it was more than that. Maybe it was because I had the priority to support our family. Especially when Veronica had no job.
Now that I think of it, Veronica and I was such an unlikely pair to have spent a life together. She was always the sociable one who laughed when she was happy and cried when she was sad. She was always much stronger than I was.
"Logan, Can you get that please?" Veronica asked as she washed her hands from the bathroom.
I was snapped out of my thoughts as I heard the doorbell ring again
I opened the door only to find Keith Mars on the other side.
Veronica approached him and enveloped him in a tight embrace.
"Daddy, what're you doing here?" Veronica asked.
"I thought I'd pay my baby a visit." Keith replied.
"Well, you stay here and catch up with Logan, I have to go run some errands. I won't be long." Veronica gave him a kiss on the cheek and waved me goodbye.
"Ouch… What did you do Logan?" Keith asked after he heard the door shut.
"I'm guessing you figured out from that little… goodbye wave?"
"Okay.. So… Maybe I forgot our 29th anniversary." Logan asked training his eyes on anything else but Keith.
"Mmmhmmm. You know Logan. Loving someone's never easy. Trust me, I know."
Of course he knew. Veronica would constantly tell me how she admired the love their parents showed each other. Yes, they did have problems, but it never lasted five minutes.
"How did you do it Keith?" I asked with sincerity.
"I did anything I could to make her fall back in love with me. I sang to her and I even wrote her a love story, which was about me and her."
We sat in silence. It showed how much he missed her but I knew he never did regret anything.
Make her fall back in
love with me…
It was then when I finally knew what to do.
