The train stopped and opened the doors. What do I do? Fortunately the disembarking passenger give me more time to think. If I got on I would be walking away from a good job and a wife who adores me and there would no coming back. This bridge would be burned.

I was the only one waiting to board so I have to decide fast. They could easily replace me at work and I wouldn’t be missed, but Sarah’s heart would be broken. The problem was I married her out of convenience. I didn’t really love her. I don’t know that I ever did. I was good to her and made her happy, the trouble is I am not.

A new start will do me good. The prospects are limitless, I can do anything I want. Reaching in my pocket for the ticket, I find a slip of paper, a note from Sarah. I pause to read it. The door shut and I am left standing on the platform. Her note convinced me that I have is better than the unknown.
