His Bittersweet Regret

Opal Morgan was always meant to be mine.
And she was, right up until I let everyone else inside my head and threw her away. Six months after our last goodbye, I was on another lackluster date, regretting my life choices, when I finally saw her again. She took my breath away for more than just one reason, the biggest being the well-rounded baby bump she couldn’t hide behind her bulky sweatshirt.

Marshall Kennedy was my one true love. There had never once been a doubt in my mind, even as everyone around us tried to tell me that a love like ours could never last. Then, one day out of the blue, he told me it was over and just like that, he walked out of my life. I had to tell him my news via text and all I got back was that it didn’t make a difference. Goodbye meant goodbye. So, why was he surprised when he finally saw me again? Maybe it was just wishful thinking on my part, or bittersweet regret on his, either way, he was back and now I was the one second guessing everything.
