Hometown Redemption by Jean Marie

One moment of selfishness and I lost my Cecila forever.
My urge to escape this one horse town was all consuming.
Bigger and better things awaited us in the big city.
But when she said she didn’t want to go, I angrily ended our relationship.
Not even listening to her reasoning.

The city wasn’t all it was cracked up to be though. Those were some hard, lonely years. So when my dad decided to retire, asking if I wanted to take over his hardware store. I jumped on the opportunity to move back to my hometown.
