Rebirth Into My Second Chance

My spirit was on a mission to find Max, but a trip to the hospital left me empty-handed. I had no clue where he lived. So, without much thought, I drifted back to the villa where Claude and I had exchanged vows, the Silverwood Estate. When I first saw the term "meteor shower," I thought Claude had chosen this place for our wedding because of his fascination with the stars.

Initially, I believed it was just a matter of him adjusting to being my husband, that deep down, he still harbored feelings for me. But all those illusions shattered one morning.

Kate came knocking on Claude's door early in the day.

Our rooms were close, so I overheard her excitement.

"Claude, there's a meteor shower tonight. You can finally use that telescope you bought. I just love watching shooting stars."

Frozen in bed, I realized then that all of Claude's affections were for Kate, never for me.

Facing the words "meteor shower," my spirit felt a burning sensation in my eyes, like I was about to cry, even though I didn't have a physical form to do so.

Entering the garden, I heard Kate and Claude setting up the telescope, lamenting the possibility of not seeing the meteor shower.

"I'm so bummed we might miss it," Kate said.

Ever so doting, Claude comforted her, "We'll see them. Be patient."
