The rain was falling heavily that night.
Nora sat alone in the hospital hallway, her hands trembling as she stared at the cold white floor. Everything around her felt unreal, like a bad dream she couldn't wake up from.
Just a few hours earlier, she had received a phone call that changed her life forever.
There had been a car accident.
And the name she heard on the phone was the one she feared the most.
Daniel.
The man she loved for five years.
The man who promised her they would get married next summer.
A doctor slowly walked toward her. His face was serious, and his eyes carried the kind of sadness that spoke before words did.
"I'm sorry," he said quietly. "We tried everything."
Those four words shattered Nora's world.
Her mind went silent. Her heart felt empty.
Daniel was gone.
The love of her life had disappeared in a single night.
Outside the hospital window, the storm grew stronger.
Nora closed her eyes and whispered with a broken voice,
"I can't live in a world without you."
But life had its own plans.
Three years later…
Everything would change.
Because one rainy night, Nora would see someone standing in the street.
Someone with the same face.
The same eyes.
And the same voice as Daniel.
The man who died.
