A Moment in Destiny

“Or maybe we were wrong!” Sherry didn’t want to jump to conclusions. At the same time, she was also afraid that it was the truth. What would she say to Celia if it was all true then?

Her expression turned bitter thinking about it. William felt sorry for her and hugged her tightly, “Okay, stop thinking about it. You need to stay calm. Just leave everything to me!”

“Leave it to you? Can you convince Leon and Sue to make peace with each other?” she said harshly.

He didn’t mind her harsh tone and said, “I don’t know. But I first need to find out about Sue and father-in-law’s relationship, then only I can decide what to do!”

“I guess that’s all we can do for now!” Sherry sighed. She then noticed her bag and grabbed it.

“I have your bag with me for some time now, it was sitting in my car the whole time. I feel like you’re with me every time I look at the bag. Sherry. I was miserable without you by my side,” he told her his thoughts earnestly.

“You didn’t open my bag?” It seemed like he didn’t.

“No! It was your privacy, I couldn’t just invade it!” he said.

Sherry smiled bitterly. If that was the case, the album should still in the bag! She opened the bag and took out the album. She placed it right in front of him.

“What’s that?” he asked as he arched his eyebrow.

“Pictures of you and Ms. Mclean. Please return this to Ms. Mclean!” said Sherry calmly.

As time went by, Sherry felt like she didn’t mind the pictures as much as before. Time had past and Sherry finally understood the meaning behind the saying “time heals all wounds”. She was now as calm as ever.

But William wasn’t, “Shit, when did she give you this?”

“I saw this album first. I saw this before I saw the one in your apartment!” said Sherry plainly.

William knew that he was done for. He felt scared hearing her emotionless and cold tone of voice, “Sherry, I’ll destroy them right now!” He then took out a lighter and walked to the bathroom.

“There’s no need!” said Sherry plainly, “Just return it to Ms. Mclean! It belonged to her and she should be the one making decisions about what to do with it!”

“No! I burned the ones at the apartment already. I don’t want them to exist!” he said stubbornly.

“But William, so what if you burned it?” Sherry sighed and said calmly, “Memories are not something you can just get rid off so easily. You have a complicated past with her, and you guys almost got married! For all these years, nobody could be a part of you guys' relationship! But to me right now, it’s just a photo album! I also have my past. For example, I had a crush on the guy who was good at basketball at school, but that was in the past! Nobody should write off anybody’s past, we should accept each other’s instead!”

William suddenly hugged her tightly, his heart was thumping, “Sherry, you had a crush on someone else?”

Sherry nodded, “Yeah, doesn’t everyone have one when they were a teenager? I still remember how handsome that basketball guy was! He was probably around the same height as you! I think I picked up the ball for him once. But I was too far away and couldn’t see his face properly!”

“Who is he?” Feelings of jealousy and sadness were brewing in William even though it was just a crush from a long time ago.
