When Regret Knocked, But the Door Stayed Closed

I spent three years chasing after Philbert Brown. And now, he’d finally agreed to marry me.

The night before our wedding, at his bachelor party, all our friends were congratulating me, saying I’d finally gotten what I wanted. But then I overheard Philbert laughing as he told his friends, “There’s no such thing as a perfect ending in this world. Since I can’t marry the one I love most, I’ll just settle for someone who loves me.”

His words hit me hard. After thinking it through, I hesitated but eventually spoke up, “You might be right. How about we just cancel the wedding?”
