JENNIE KIM
Each day I prayed for my husband to love me again.
After fifteen years together, he walked away from me, and into the arms of another.
I didn't know how to cope. I didn't know my worth. I didn't know how to exist without him by my side.
All I wanted was for him to come back to me.
Then, Lisa Manoban appeared.
She was supposed to be a distraction for my mind. A summer fling. A confidence boost to my bruised heart.
We were perfect for one another, because we both knew we wouldn't last. Lisa didn't believe in commitment, and I no longer believed in love. She was too closed-off for me, and I was too damaged for her.
Everything was fine, until one night my heart skipped a beat.
I didn't expect her to make me laugh. To make me think. To make my sadness somewhat disappear.
When our time was up, my heart didn't know how to walk away.
Each day I prayed for my husband to love me again, yet slowly my prayers began to shift toward the woman who wasn't right for me.
I prayed for one more smile, one more kiss, one more laugh, one more touch…
I prayed for her to be mine.
Even though I knew her heart wasn't destined to love.
