He looked at Macie as she walked in to the Bloomingdale's, where she worked. 'That must be a new dress, ' he thought as he looked at the red velevet dress, clinging to Macie's body. He sighed, thinking back to the best days of his life.

*FLASHBACK*

"Will you marry me?"
Macie looked down at the man in front of her and started crying. Nodding, she jumped up and threw her arms around the guy, "YES! Oh, defiantly yes!"

His eyes grew glassy as he remembered. He had met Macie at a friend's birthday party and had, quickly, fell for her. And, the feeling was mutual. Three months later, he had proposed and they had married five months after. His eyes misted with tears of regret as he remembered the day that he made the biggest mistake of his life.

*FLASHBACK*

"Macie, we need to talk, " he told her.
Macie sat in a chair, with him across from her on the couch. "What is it, sweetie?, " she asked. He could see that she was a little curious and fearful about what he wanted to talk about. He heard a little voice, in his head, telling him not to do it. But, he had to.
He sighed, "I....I want a divorce, Macie."
Macie gasped and looked at him in shock. "Wh-what?"
"Macie, I'm sorry, but..."
He saw that silent tears were rolling down Macie's cheeks, as she asked, "What did I do?! We've been married for seven years! I thought we were happy!"
"You didn't do anything. It's...me. I'm feeling...trapped and I need out, I'm sorry." He stood up and added, "I already have my clothes packed and out in my car. I'm going to go ahead and stay at a hotel." He gave her a chaste kiss on the cheek and, before she could say or do anything, he left.

Macie looked out of the store window and saw him getting in to his car. She sighed and felt tears brimming her eyes. "What's the matter, Macie?" Her co-worker and friend, Stephanie, asked in concern.
"I saw him out the window. I'm still so confussed over what happened."
"It's been seven months, I thought you were getting over him."
Macie shook her head. We were married for seven years, Stephanie. I haven't forgotten about him or quit loving him. I'm just trying to deal with it."
Stephanie hugged Macie and said, "I'm sorry. I know this must be hard. But, you know he's probley going crazy, too. With you doing so well on your own."
Macie gave a faint smile and shrugged. "You know, I would take him back today, if he would only ask."

He drove forward, without looking back, letting his pride keep him from the only woman that he ever loved.
