I am starting off with a weekly series of Five Sentence Fiction every Tuesday here. The above story is written for the prompt ANNIVERSARY. Feel free to join me with your Five Sentence Fiction using Anniversary as prompt in the comments. I would love to read yours.
The end tears the heart. The love we have for people and the feeling that they never went away made me shed a tear.

I was almost ready for a romantic tale with all the love with the 4th anniversary and then my heart broke with the last sentence. How diificult will it be for someone to be in such a situation, I can hardly imagine.
