A day

as reply to In search of lost time

It was true Mary Beth didn’t notice right away. But when she did she knew what to do. 

When they were married a stranger came up to her at the wedding. She thought it was one of his friends. “If he ever runs call me.” The lady said and gave her her card. She thought it was a joke, or a wedding crasher but now she thought about it. 

He left a note saying he’s not mad at her just needed to leave. 

She tore through the drawers. And her desk. She found it near her wedding dress. In a small box in her closet. The card seemed like it hadn’t aged a day.
