     A Heart of Time “Time of death...” the doctor said. I won’t forget that moment I looked over at the woman I had been with since we were five years old. My wife. My best friend...and the mother to our newborn baby girl. You promised me we would be together forever, I wanted to tell her. She gave me her forever, I told myself. Her forever just ended at twenty-five. Ellie never told me another woman would carry on with her beating heart. Somehow, she knew. And she could have told me.... A Missing Heart I’ve made mistakes, ones that have ruined lives. Including my own. Because of this, my past is something I have chosen to keep to myself, and when I found a woman who wanted her past to remain hidden, as well, it felt like the universe was pushing us together. Except, the universe has nothing to do with the unfolding of my life. My wife is not who I think she is, living with a past I should have known about. Now, both of our pasts have come into the spotlight, and they have collided head-on. A Change of Heart I was born with a bad heart, one that would not keep me alive through adulthood. Then, the one day every person on a transplant list waits for, came for me. A new heart with my name on it would give me more time, second chances, and a new life. A new life with the donor’s widowed husband. A new life where I tell the perfect man I can never be his. A new life where I cause heartache instead of feeling it. My happily ever after doesn’t end with a kiss or a promise. It ends with gratitude and a goodbye.
