Feeling unappreciated in my marriage, I decided to take a break. But when my car broke down miles from home, I found myself at a small motel, where an unexpected reunion with David, my first love, changed everything.For years, I’d heard, “He doesn’t hit you, cheat, or drink. What’s the problem?” But now, after years of unspoken frustrations, Tony’s constant criticism and neglect finally broke me.

Tired of doing everything while he did nothing, I packed a bag and left, needing space to think about whether I even wanted to stay in the marriage.While stopping at a gas station, I ran into David, who offered me a place to stay at his nearby motel. My car needed repairs, and after some hesitation, I accepted. As we spent more time together, memories of our past resurfaced, and I found myself drawn to him again. One evening, our feelings rekindled, and we shared a kiss that led to a night together.
