While Mia professed her intention to sever ties with Benjamin out of guilt towards me, she nonetheless allowed him to pursue her.
In the end, Benjamin asked for a divorce. I refused, harboring resentment towards Mia. In my anguish, I inadvertently caused her a severe injury, leading to the loss of their child.
This culminated in a bitter divorce forced upon me by Benjamin and my subsequent confinement to a mental hospital.
Meanwhile, Benjamin and Mia moved past their troubles and found happiness together.
The dream ended with Benjamin embracing a radiant Mia, resplendent in a luxurious wedding gown, her face aglow with joy.
When I awoke, darkness had fallen. My pillow was soaked with tears, and I was too sad to breathe barely.
But soon, my thoughts were interrupted by a clear female voice.
"Hey! Eleanor Turner, why are you crying?"
"You look awful."
Standing before me was a young girl, her face full of curiosity. She tilted her head as she gazed at me, her eyes sparkling with childlike brightness. "Eleanor, why are you crying?"
She had my face, but younger, more innocent--a version of me from twenty years ago.
