come here every day back then?” Justin asked, his voice tight with emotion as his mind raced.
“Yes, she came every morning on time, worked diligently all day long until we closed.
She was focused and precise—never complained,” the old tailor said with a fond smile.
“She even helped me organize my materials.
A truly dedicated young lady.
”
Justin’s heart twisted painfully.
He could picture Anna in his mind, working in the shop, pouring herself into the creation of the suit.
“Do you remember when she left?” Justin asked, swallowing his guilt as the words left his mouth.
The tailor thought for a moment, rubbing his chin.
“She stopped coming about a week before she left the city.
But before that, she was here every day, without fail.
She was always polite, a pleasure to have around.
”
Justin’s eyes softened as the weight of Anna’s quiet dedication hit him.
His chest tightened with a deep sense of regret.
He had never truly appreciated her—never truly seen her for the person she was outside of the contract they had.
Now, he was left with nothing but his own self-inflicted turmoil.
“Do you still have the suit she made?” Justin asked, voice barely above a whisper.
The tailor nodded.
“Of course, I still have it.
It’s a fine piece of work.
If you want, I can show you.
”
Justin felt a sudden wave of longing flood through him.
“Please, show me.
”
The tailor led him to the back of the shop, and moments later, Justin stood in front of the suit Anna had created.
It was simple yet elegant, crafted with an attention to detail that mirrored the care she had given to everything in her life, including their marriage.
Justin reached out, fingers grazing the fabric.
His thoughts swirled with the unspoken words he wished he had said to her before it was too late.
“I’ll take it,” Justin said finally, his voice a quiet promise to himself.
The tailor nodded and began to prepare the suit for him, but Justin remained still, lost in his thoughts.
As he stood there, he couldn’t help but wonder—was it too late to mend the broken parts of their relationship, to make amends for the mistakes he had made?
For the first time in a long while, he wasn’t sure what the future held.
But one thing was certain—he needed to find a way to make things right with Anna, no matter how hard it might be.
