THE DAY HE CAME BACK

Genre: Romance and emotional drama

Amara had spent three years trying to forget the man who promised never to leave her.

On the night he broke her heart, it was raining. She remembered standing outside his house, holding the little gift she had bought for his birthday, while he looked into her eyes and told her he no longer loved her.

She had begged him to tell her what she had done wrong. He said nothing. He simply walked away.

Now, three years later, Amara had finally learned to smile again. She had a new job, new friends and a heart she guarded carefully.

Then, on a quiet Friday evening, someone knocked on her door.

When she opened it, her smile disappeared.

It was Daniel.

He looked older, tired and nothing like the confident man she remembered.

“Amara,” he whispered.

She gripped the door tightly. “What are you doing here?”

He swallowed hard. “I know I don’t deserve to stand in front of you. But there’s something you need to know about the night I left.”

Her heart began to race.

“Whatever it is,” she said, fighting back tears, “you should have told me three years ago.”

Daniel lowered his eyes.

“I know. And if you let me explain, you’ll understand why losing you was the biggest mistake of my life.”

Amara stared at him, wondering whether the man who had once destroyed her heart was about to break it all over again.
