If only he had understood these things sooner.
If only back then he had answered: "What's wrong? Can't sleep? | can keep you company."
Perhaps everything would have been different.
But "if only" was both the most abundant and scarcest thing in the world.
He had to admit, when Sarah was playing the role of dutiful trad wife at home, he never noticed her radiance.
Only after she shed that identity did he gradually discover how exceptional and charismatic she truly was.
He stared at their wedding photo on the nightstand, remembering Sarah carefully wiping each crystal photo
album.

At the Ocean Mall, Sarah was shopping with Scarlett. Since the wine tasting, Scarlett had convinced herself that
her tacos had played a crucial role in Mr. Sadberry giving the business to the Sanders. She used this as an
excuse to insist on buying Sarah dresses.
"See how generous | am! That was a deal worth hundreds of millions. Thanks to- who knows when you would
