Denise sat in her dimly lit apartment, surrounded by the silence of the night. She couldn't shake off the feeling of regret that had been plaguing her for weeks. She thought about Lewis and the way she had treated him. She realized that she had taken him for granted, and now he was gone.
As she reflected on her past choices, Denise felt a pang of sadness. She had been so focused on her career and her own desires that she had neglected the people who truly cared about her. She thought about the way Lewis used to look at her, with a deep affection and adoration. She remembered the way he used to make her laugh, the way he used to hold her hand.
Denise's mind wandered to the what-ifs. What if she had stayed with Lewis? What if she had been more supportive? What if she had prioritized their relationship over her career? The questions swirled in her head, taunting her with the possibilities.
As the night wore on, Denise's regret turned to determination. She knew she couldn't change the past, but she could try to make things right. She started to think about ways to reach out to Lewis, to apologize and make amends. But as she pondered her next move, she realized that it wouldn't be easy.
