What a poignant story! The way you narrate this couple's relationship and love journey is touching and suspenseful. Like the binder, who I later discovered is the narrator (hehe, nice one), I was filled with curiosity as to Wesley's whereabouts after he disappeared for 365 days! It all makes sense.
Sometimes, it takes just one incidence to capture a person's attention and make them appreciate the brevity of life. Your story portrays the need to seize each moment and make every one count.
Wesley and Marietta wasted time apart on a frivolous reason (I blame Wesley more) but I'm glad they found their way back to each other again, even if it's just for a short time. You skilfully show the power of love to transcend time and circumstances even in the face of mortality. Beautifully written as always! Take care and have a wonderful weekend. 😊 !PIMP
