Melissa stared at the wilting flowers on her kitchen table, a remnant of her latest failed relationship. Since her divorce, she’d had a series of disappointments, each leaving her vowing to do better next time. But when Eric came along, those hard-learned lessons faded in the warmth of his charm.

Eric swept her off her feet, his attentiveness making her feel cherished. Despite faint warning bells from past experiences, Melissa fell headlong into the romance. Their relationship burned bright with spontaneous adventures and passionate moments.

As the honeymoon phase ended, issues surfaced that felt all too familiar to Melissa. Eric’s attentiveness became possessiveness, his charm gave way to jealousy. Melissa found herself walking on eggshells, the same dynamics she’d experienced in previous relationships.

The final straw came during a weekend getaway. A minor misunderstanding erupted into an argument, with Eric storming out, leaving Melissa alone and shaken in their hotel room.

Back home, Melissa tossed the wilted flowers into the trash. She was sick and tired of being here again, of finding herself alone once more. The pain of another failed relationship and the prospect of starting over weighed heavily on her.
