My suspicion was confirmed at the
ceremony. I seldom heard from Grant
after that accident.
Seeing him in a wheelchair, I felt a pang of sympathy. Three months, so much had changed.
He looked sullen, devoid of joy, as if
someone swallowed his souls. Wanda’s
mother looked really worried. She seemed
not happy at all.
She asked Wanda to have an abortion
as soon as she heard about the pregnancy.
Even though Grant had broken up
with me, she knew he still cared about me.
No matter what Wanda did, it wouldn’t

wheelchair. She was really worried that
Grant might change his mind.
To her surprise, Grant agreed to
marry Wanda. For the wedding, she did
her best to look calm. She took Wanda’s
hand to Grant, wishing that he would
treat Wanda well.
He didn’t reach out, however. Just as
her face darkened, Wanda walked to
Grant and pushed him to the officiant.
Despite the accident, the ceremony
proceeded. Many events were removed
due to Grant’s condition, but not the ring

Now the wedding was happening,
but his bride wasn’t her.
Wanda waited, her smile faltering.
Then, he murmured.
“Rosie, will you marry me?”
Her smile vanished. But with so
many people watching, she couldn’t leave.
She reminded him,“Grant, the rings.”
He snapped back to reality and put
the ring on her finger.

know why. Perhaps only when people
lose will they cherish.
I remembered the fortune–telling
card from the reunion.

Desire leads to disappointment;
detachment leads to fulfillment.
