Too Late…

February 26, 2019

Cheryl and Mark had been involved as a couple for over three years when Mark suggested they move in together.  Cheryl didn’t want to, but she felt she had invested too much time in the relationship and  would lose him if she refused to do as he asked.  His best friend cautioned her against it, because he knew Mark was only doing it for financial reasons.  But Cheryl agreed to live with Mark because she loved him, and she hoped that this decision would put her in a better position to become Mark’s wife.  Though, he refused to discuss marriage, she still had high hopes.

However, after six months of living with Mark, and being subjected to him staying out all night, and taking phone calls in another room, she’d had it.  She moved out, and ended the relationship.

A year later, Mark showed up at her door unexpectedly with an engagement ring and declarations of love that she’d never heard from him before.  But, it was too late, she was already happily engaged to his best friend.
