Summer drove a few miles to reach the nearest supermarket. She pushed the cart slowly down the aisle, picking out the groceries, fresh vegetables, and fruits. When she reached the meat section, she grabbed a pack of chicken breasts. But she paused when her gaze landed on a neatly arranged display of fresh shrimp.
The sight tugged her backward in time. Memories washed over her. She lifted the packet of shrimp from the shelf mechanically.
She remembered Gideon's delighted smile whenever she served shrimp. When he ate with fervor and complimented her, her heart used to flutter.
Those moments had once motivated her to cook delicious dishes for him often. But now – everything was different. They had been separated for six years. The intimacy they once shared was now just a reminder of everything that had been shattered.
Sighing, she put the packet down, the warmth of old memories quickly dissolving.
