Stanley took a step closer. "Wendy, please don't be so cold to me. All these years, I never knew it was you. I've been searching for you." Wendy nodded slowly. "I know. I know everything." Stanley reached out and gently placed his hands on her shoulders. "Please, giveanother chance. We've lost so many years, but I don't want to lose you again." Wendy pushed him away, her voice firm.
"It's too late! I've given you so many chances. I gave you a chance when we were getting divorced, when Jessica and I were both kidnapped. Even when I was on the operating table for a miscarriage, I prayed you'd show up in time. But every tI needed you, you pushedaway. This happened again and again, and eventually, I got used to living without you. I don't need you anymore." Stanley felt as though his heart had been gripped by an iron hand, squeezing so tightly that he could barely breathe. "Wendy, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry..." The apology felt like an ocean of words reduced to just that one phrase.
"Wendy, I promised you once that I would take you away, give you a home. But I broke that promise. I left you all alone in the countryside, letting you be alone for so long.
"When I was in a coma, you cto me, but I didn't even recognize you. I hurt you over and over for Jessica's sake, and I disappointed you... I know all of this." Stanley's eyes turned red, the sheen of unshed tears reflecting in his gaze.
"Just thinking about everything you went through while I wasn't around... it hurts so much. I feel so guilty, and I hate myself for it. I can't forgive myself. It's my fault. All of it... It's my fault." Wendy trembled, her lips pressed tight, but she remained silent.

He held her so fiercely, his face of buried in her long hair, as though he wanted to press her into every part of him, never letting her go. He didn't want to be apart from her anymore.
This embrace had ctoo late-many years too late.
Tears fell from Wendy's eyes. Stanley was the man she had always loved, and her heart ached for him. She had loved him so much, and this embrace... He had no idea how much she had longed for it.
