Since her split, Lucy’s life had been going downhill. After her son turned her down and she lost her job, she felt lost and alone.
But then fate stepped in. She found George, a long-lost high school friend, after almost dying in a car crash.
Lucy was sitting in Miss Kinsley’s clean house thinking about better times. But the present was rough. It was her job that was at risk, and she felt sad.
Lucy’s sadness was cut through by Miss Kinsley’s kind words. “Living on doesn’t always help us get better. It’s hard to let go, but it can lead to new opportunities.
Lucy stood at the crossing, thinking, and the words kept going through her head. Then, a car sped up and stopped just inches away, waking her up.
It was clear that the driver was angry, but then a soft, comforting voice spoke up. “Are you hurt?” With worry in his eyes, George asked.
Lucy was amazed when she walked into George’s beautiful home. The smooth marble floors and soft lighting made her feel like she was in a different place from her problems.
George’s kindness and love wrapped around her. William, his personal doctor, took care of her cuts and scrapes, and Lucy felt grateful.
While they were drinking tea together, George told them a shocking fact: they went to high school together. It brought back a lot of memories.
The room was full of laughter as they talked about the good old days. George’s eyes sparkled with happiness, and Lucy remembered how happy she felt.
But the hard things in life couldn’t be avoided. Lucy told her story, which included her breakup, her son’s rejection, and losing her job. George cared about what he heard.
“Do you remember our last night after prom?” George asked in a low voice. “I told you I loved you.”
The memory came back to me quickly, hurtful. Lucy said in a whisper, “I’ve thought about that night so many times.”
George’s face got softer. “Lucy, we can’t change the past. But now we do. “That could mean something.”
There was a spark of hope in Lucy. This chance meeting could have been the start of something new.
“Maybe we can pick up where we left off?” George said, his eyes full of hope.
Lucy’s heart beat faster. Is it possible? Could this accident give you a second chance to find love and be happy?
Lucy agreed to go to dinner because she felt like anything was possible now. As they walked away, she smiled and felt the darkness go away.
Sometimes, life would surprise her, but this time it was a good surprise. It only takes a second chance to find happiness again.
