WAITRESS AT A LUXURY WEDDING DISCOVERS THE GROOM IS HER HUSBAND WHO DIED 5 YEARS AGO...
Ashley Miller wiped her hands on her apron, staring out the window of the diner as rain tapped gently against the glass. The late afternoon crowd was thinning, leaving her a brief moment to catch her breath. For most people, this might have been just another ordinary day, but for Ashley, every shift felt like an uphill battle.
She glanced at the clock above the register. Another three hours to go before she could head home to Ruby, her five-year-old daughter. The thought of Ruby brought a faint smile to her face. Her daughter was her whole world-a bright light in a life that had often felt consumed by darkness. “Hey, Ashley, table three’s waiting on their coffee!” barked Margaret, the diner’s owner, snapping her back to reality. “On it!” Ashley replied, forcing a smile as she grabbed the coffee pot. She moved swiftly, her well-practiced steps navigating the narrow aisles of the diner.
As she poured coffee for the elderly couple at table three, Ashley exchanged polite pleasantries, but her mind was elsewhere. Memories of Luke, her late husband, crept into her thoughts. It had been five years since the accident, but the ache of losing him hadn’t faded. The official story was that his body had been lost at sea after his boat capsized during a storm. She had been three months pregnant with Ruby at the time, and the shock of his sudden disappearance had left her reeling.
