I'd been married to Fiona for forty years. But when she passed away, she left everything to her true love, Michael. She even asked him to give her a husband's send-off at her funeral. All she left me was a single sentence. She said, "David, you kept me trapped in this marriage for forty years. Please, set me free and let me return to Michael." Michael gave me a frosty stare. He sneered, "David, you never stood a chance against me. Do you know why you two never had kids? Because she never wanted a child unless it was mine." Every memory crashed down on me, smashing my heart to bits. Blood gushed from my mouth, and everything went black as I crumpled to the floor. When I woke up again, I was back at my wedding with Fiona: forty years ago. This time, when she chased after Michael, I didn't stop her. Instead, I handed her the car keys. "Drive after him," I said.
