Mia Laurence was it - the end of the line - my prince in a sea of frogs. When he proposed, I slipped the dazzling diamond on my ring finger without hesitation. Little did I know our vows, in sickness and in health, would be tested before our marriage had even begun, shattering the future we painted so brightly. A year later, single and forging a new life in San Francisco, the past was unshakable. As was the love I had for the man who captured my heart at first glance... moreMia Laurence was it - the end of the line - my prince in a sea of frogs. When he proposed, I slipped the dazzling diamond on my ring finger without hesitation. Little did I know our vows, in sickness and in health, would be tested before our marriage had even begun, shattering the future we painted so brightly. A year later, single and forging a new life in San Francisco, the past was unshakable. As was the love I had for the man who captured my heart at first glance. An unattainable fantasy, Laurence haunted my dreams and taunted me with the reality of what could have been. If I wasn’t damaged goods, if I was able to have kids, if if if….one thousand and one ifs. Laurence What is there to say? Mia was my everything and when she left, I was destroyed. Work became my focus, my reason for getting out of bed each morning and my drive to continue. Slowly, as the days blurred together the pain she caused dulled to a low ache. One phone call though changed everything and the past collided with the present. As the true reason behind our breakup comes to light, will I be able to convince Mia that I don’t need a hallmark card? I simply need her. less
