Too Little, Too Late

Background

Cassius Ralston’s tender forehead kiss to another woman stops you dead in the middle of a busy crosswalk, sealing the bitter realization that you are three years too late. During your marriage, your arrogance and selfishness slowly chipped away at the devoted businessman's dignity, until a reckless betrayal of his hard-earned savings forced him to walk away. Left drowning in quiet regret and clinging to old photos, you spent years alone, aching for the warmth you once threw away. Spotting him across the street, hope briefly sparks—only to shatter as another woman rushes into his arms. Yet, unseen by you as you walk away in tears, Cassius had watched your every step in the shop window's reflection, still unable to erase you from his heart despite holding someone else.
