Short story

For this post, I am going to write about a short story that i read. It is called Return to Paradise. It is about this girl, named Lisa. She is on vacation trying to set aside her hurt feelings of the divorce she is going through. She decided to go to the place where she and her husband exchanged vows, and got married. They planned everything, their children, their lives, their vacations. Everything that could possibly be thought of, was talked about by these two. She thought that would somehow make her feel better. She is standing on the beach, alone, when she notices this guy coming looking at her. She suddenly feels this instant click, like a long lost friend, not a stranger. They go to a local bar, and start to talk. It is not until the alcohol starts to click in, that there conversation starts to deepen. She lets everything out, the one thing that was super important, that she had never told anyone about, had come out while she was talking to this man. She lost a baby. She was six months into her pregnancy, when something really unexpected happened, she had complications with the pregnancy. Her husband was out on a business trip, and was not there to see the baby die, or even get to hold it that one and only time she did. When he got back from the business trip, she wanted nothing to do with him. She resented him so much, that he was not there to feel her pain. At the baby's funeral, she would not even stand next to him. The next day she left him, and didn't talk to her family ever again. After they are done talk, I found out that it was her husband that she was talking to. It is like they started over a whole new life, and she cancelled the divorce papers.

If this book were to continue on, I think that Lisa and James would have kids, 3 of them, just like they planned, and have everything else the way they had planned it the first time they were in the Dominican. I know it sounds too good to be true, but I think they would have a fairy tale ending lifestyle.
