Hansel skimmed through the documents and called the project manager. “All of these projects are canceled.”

“W-What?” The project manager thought he had misheard. These were sof the company’s flagship projects,

with several nearing completion. And now, he was being told they were off the table.

Hansel asked, “Was | unclear with my words?”

“N-No.”

“Are you still not getting it?” Hansel asked again.

The project manager hesitated before answering, “No, | don’t.”

“Then, w

A bitter smile crept onto his face as he realized that regret takes many forms. The most painful was how

everyone suddenly raved about the incredible woman he had lost. Before, no one had said a word. He felt they

amplified his sense of loss.

What was he supposed to do? What options did he have? Then it hit him-Sam had said he'd met Miranda's

parents.

As dawn broke, golden rays of sunlight warmed the world.

Miranda got up and prepared breakfast. She quietly ate alone, careful not to wake Lionel or Mindy, before

slipping out for her morning run. Since she didn’t have classes that morning, she swung by the market after her

workout.

When Lionel and Mindy woke up, the kitchen was stocked with fresh groceries, and breakfast was ready. “Mimi,

what tdid you get up?” Lionel asked.

“6:30 am.”

“That early?” He was surprised.

“I woke up naturally.”

As Lionel entered the kitchen and spotted the meat and vegetables on the counter, he asked, “Did you stop by

the market?”

Miranda nodded. “The pork ribs look great today. | bought two pounds. Dad, how about we have stewed ribs for

lunch?”

“Sounds good! I'll handle the cooking. You don’t have to worry about anything.”

Just then, someone knocked on the door. Mindy, who was eating breakfast, looked up in surprise. “Who is
