\n

On her wedding day, Anne receives a letter from her late mother, written especially for this moment. As Anne reads her mother\u2019s heartfelt words, she begins to question if she\u2019s truly marrying the right man. Doubts flood her mind, leaving her to wonder if she\u2019s made the right choice.\n\n

\n

Anne sat in the quiet hotel room, her fingers lightly brushing over the sealed envelope in her lap. The letter was from her mother, Diane, who had passed away not long ago.\n\n

\n

Diane had written letters for every important event in Anne\u2019s life: her high school graduation, her wedding day, even the future birth of a child. Today, Anne was opening the one for her wedding.\n\n

\n

Her heart ached knowing her mother wasn\u2019t there, but Diane had found a way to stay close, even after death.\n\n

\n

With shaky hands, Anne opened the envelope and carefully unfolded the letter. Her mother\u2019s familiar handwriting appeared, and immediately, tears welled up in Anne\u2019s eyes.\n\n

\n

She blinked rapidly, wiping them away before they could ruin her makeup. The words on the page blurred for a moment before Anne could focus.\n\n

\n

“Anne, my dear Anne, today is your big day. Like every bride, you’re probably panicking about something small going wrong. But none of these little things will matter in the long run. A year from now, you won\u2019t even remember them. What truly matters is that you\u2019ve chosen the right man…”\n\n

\n

Anne paused, feeling her chest tighten. The doubts she’d been carrying for months surfaced again. Had she really chosen the right man? Her mother\u2019s words made her question everything all over again.\n\n

Three months earlier\u2026\n\n
\n

Anne and Roger strolled through the park, laughing about their most recent dating disasters. Things always seemed to go wrong for both of them.\n\n

\n

“So, how\u2019s that last guy? What was his name again?” Roger asked, squinting as if trying to remember.\n\n

\n

“Mark,” Anne answered.\n\n

\n

“Right, Mark. How was that?”\n\n

\n

Anne shrugged. “He\u2019s okay. He\u2019s successful, has his own company. He took me to a fancy restaurant, and drove me home after.”\n\n

\n

“But…?” Roger raised an eyebrow.\n\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n\n\n\n\n\n
\n

“He\u2019s boring,” Anne admitted, sighing. “All he talked about was work. I didn\u2019t know what to say, so I just sat there, nodding.”\n\n

\n

Roger laughed. “So, no second date?”\n\n

\n

\n

“Actually…” Anne hesitated, kicking at the ground.\n\n

\n

“Wait, what? Why?” Roger asked, surprised.\n\n

\n

“He\u2019s a good guy, you know? He\u2019s successful, and I\u2019ve always wanted someone like that. And… he didn\u2019t try to kiss me, which was kind of nice,” she explained.\n\n

\n

Roger looked puzzled. “So, you\u2019re going to keep seeing him because he didn\u2019t kiss you?”\n\n

“It\u2019s not like that,” Anne said, defending herself. “It\u2019s just… it feels safe. But it\u2019s still early. We\u2019re just dating.”\n\n

\n

Roger gave her a curious look. “And what about you? Seeing anyone?” Anne asked, trying to change the subject.\n\n

\n

“There\u2019s someone,” Roger admitted, glancing at her.\n\n

\n

“Then tell her how you feel,” Anne said, nudging him playfully.\n\n

\n

“What if she doesn\u2019t feel the same? I could lose her,” Roger replied, his tone serious.\n\n

\n

“You won\u2019t,” Anne said with a grin. “Trust me. She\u2019d be crazy not to love you.”\n\n

\n

Roger smiled, but his eyes held something more.\n\n

\n

After their second date, Mark asked Anne to be his girlfriend, and she decided to give it a try. A little over a month later, they moved in together.\n\n

\n

At first, things seemed fine, but one day, Anne came down with a fever. She was curled up in bed, her head pounding. She had asked Mark to take the day off to stay with her, but he refused, saying he had too much work, even though he owned the company.\n\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n\n\n\n\n\n
\n

As Anne lay there, her body aching, she heard the doorbell ring. She groaned, forcing herself out of bed. Slowly, she made her way to the door and opened it. There, standing with a warm smile and a large bag, was Roger.\n\n

\n

“Hey, sick girl,” Roger said, smiling as Anne opened the door.\n\n

“Hey,” Anne replied, her voice weak and stuffy from the cold.\n\n

\n

“I brought you some soup,” Roger said, holding up the bag he was carrying.\n\n

\n

“You\u2019re my hero,” Anne said with a small grin, stepping aside to let him in.\n\n

\n

They walked into the kitchen. Anne sat down at the table while Roger went straight to the stove to heat up the soup.\n\n

“So, how\u2019s living with Mark?” Roger asked, stirring the soup.\n\n

\n

“It\u2019s fine,” Anne said. “He\u2019s really neat. I don\u2019t even have to ask him to clean up. He just does it.”\n\n

\n

Roger nodded. “That sounds good.”\n\n

\n

“Yeah, but…” Anne hesitated, biting her lip.\n\n

“But what?” Roger asked, turning to look at her.\n\n

\n

“It\u2019s nothing,” Anne said, shaking her head.\n\n

\n

“Come on, tell me,” Roger insisted, leaning against the counter.\n\n

\n

Anne sighed. “He wants me to quit my job. He says he can support both of us and that being a chef isn\u2019t serious enough.”\n\n

Roger frowned. “But you love your job.”\n\n

\n

“I know,” Anne said. “I told him that, but maybe he\u2019s right. Maybe I should just let it go.”\n\n

\n

Roger walked over and sat down next to her. He took her hand, looking into her eyes. “Anne, you\u2019re amazing at what you do. You\u2019ve worked so hard to get where you are. Don\u2019t give that up for anyone, not even Mark. You deserve to follow your dreams.”\n\n

Anne smiled, feeling a warmth in her chest. “Thanks, Roger. You always know what to say.”\n\n

“I mean it,” Roger said. “And besides, I need your cooking. I wouldn\u2019t survive without it.”\n\n

\n

Anne laughed. “You\u2019re ridiculous.”\n\n

\n

Roger grinned. “I\u2019m serious!”\n\n

“Alright, I\u2019ll think about it,” Anne said.\n\n

“Hey?” Roger replied, unsure of what was happening.\n\n

Without saying another word, Anne stepped forward and kissed him\u2014kissed him with everything she had. At that moment, she knew Roger was the one. This was just the beginning of their story.\n\n
