A Secret Wish
She; across the seas, had heard about this relative since she was knee high. They said he was a tyrant and a boisterious no good fellow. He valued only his opinions and thought that he alone should have a voice.
She left him high and dry. Search high search low, he couldn't find her - his wife of three years. Three years was more than enough time for her to admit she had made a huge mistake. She made good trusted friends, saved some money and found herself somewhere else to live.
Here she was in the big apple for the first time. It was November. And her curiosity proded, to see this creature everyone wanted to stay away from. One of his wife's friends reluctantly agreed to take her there; but in her mind she was thinking, snow would be the easy way out.

We all have secret wishes, some of them best kept secret, others should be shared, especially the mistakes, with good trusted friends.

Bad weather is sometimes a blessing. I think this speaks so well to the dread of an unavoidable meeting.💜

A piece of foreboding prose. Curiosity can be a dangerous thing. Really well written. -OP (Nitin)
