Memories -3
Six years ago
After Caesar left her, Ivanna's world came crashing down. The silence in her home was deafening, a constant reminder of the emptiness that had taken up residence in her heart. She went through the motions of daily life, but every step felt heavy, every breath a struggling.
Sometimes, her mother-in-law, Rachel, would accompany her, and Ivanna would feel a sense of comfort, knowing she wasn't entirely alone. But despite Rachel's presence, the emptiness still lingered. The truth was, the most crucial person in her life - the one who had changed everything - was missing. Caesar's absence had left a gaping hole in her heart, and no one else could fill it.
One day, the doorbell rang, breaking the silence. For a moment, Ivanna thought it might be Caesar, but she knew that was unlikely. If it were him, he would have just walked in.
