How very wonderful. Men never seem to outgrow stupidity. And,a lot of us grow up way too soon. I came by before and could only get your editing section on your temptation poem. Odd that. Now it all works. Karen

This flash fiction story, Another Chapter, brings a tearful situation through its moment of turmoil and finds that the world is made right again by the end of the tale. Nice.

    Sometimes we learn before it's too late that the grass isn't greener on the other side of the fence. I like happy endings so I am glad that the next chapter is filled with hope.

This is a lovely outcome! I don't know if the image is of your parents but they certainly look very happy. But, whatever the case, this reconciliation will be a huge relief to your family, I'm sure. It must be very painful to see your parents falling out of love but, conversely, edifying to see them fall back again. Inspiring and a great entry. Good luck! Debbie

    The image is not my parents but I thought they looked so endearing. I appreciate the review and your comments. It was a fun write even if I didn't come close to winning. That's life! Smiles to you as always, Carol

An excellent entry for the Special Delivery writing prompt. Awwww I loved this sweet story and it isn't far-fetched because i know a couple that it happened to. It's never too late to realize you were wrong. Good luck in the contest.

    Bravo! Thank you Marilyn for understanding and being able to relate that the grass isn't always greener on the other side of the fence. If you make a mistake, maybe it can be fixed/
    Have a great day!

Sometimes, a little break can make all the difference in the world. But only if the jilted wife can forgive and forget the transgression committed against her. :-) Thanks for sharing.

    Forgiveness is one of the biggest band-aids in our lifetime. Sometimes, it's the magic cure, and other times, it just won't stick. Often, the olive branch gets snapped in half, leaving the person needing a glass of wine. But if it works, life is good. Have a great day!

    Our lives are filled with so much sadness lately and we lose sight of the fact that happiness is there if we open our hearts. Have a great day!

Awww... let's hope they'd sorted themselves out. We often forget the romance of older partners so it's good to read a story celebrating that on the rebound.

    Sometimes we think the grass is greener on the other side of the fence only to discover that we really had what we wanted in the first place. Happy endings can exist if we open up our hearts.
    Have a great day!

    Smile, dear friend. Just needed to say that the grass isn't always greener on the other side of the fence, and if we open up our hearts we might discover what we already had. Have a great day!

In a world of disappointments and heartache, it is refreshing to read a happy ending. Your post put a smile on my face. it's nice when people realize the grass is not always greener than what they have.

    Sometimes, we think something would be better only to discover that our true happiness was already within our grasp. I prefer to open my heart and find that love. Have a great day!
