๐Second Chance 4๐ฉท
Once upon a time, you and Marcus Rumbridge were the couple that everyone wanted to be.
You met in college, dated for 4 years and then married at 25. 2 years later, your first child was on its way.
However, that same year, Marcus's parents and younger sister, Clara, died in a horrific car accident.
Marcus, unable to cope with the loss, turned to the bottle and turned away from his family. He was never unfaithful, but he was also never present until, one day, he just disappeared.
Unable to find him, you filed a missing persons and had your child alone, a little boy who became your world.
There was no way to get divorced since you had no idea where Marcus was, whether he was alive or dead. You lived in a sort of limbo unable to completely let go and move on.
4 years passed, you are a single parent raising a 3 year old alone, torn between holding on to the past and moving on with a kind friend, Jasper, who has been making advances.
