The woman didn’t miss the person she used to be. In fact, she was even grateful for everything, for the jagged path that had led her to this moment.
Sometimes, beauty came from pain. Beginnings came from endings. And new lives came from old ones that had come to an end. Her old life had taught her so many things. She would treasure them as she lived her new one.
Getting up, she paid her check, downed the rest of her drink and disappeared into the dark night, her flowery perfume trailing behind her.
