Romance

I Helped My Husband Chase His Old Flame

by Big Belly

After my husband, Aaron Dawson passes away, I take over his digital legacy. He recorded a series of AI-driven Q&A for his family to watch after his death.When our daughter, Gigi Dawson, asks, "Daddy, what was the happiest moment of your life?"Aaron smiles on the screen and replies, "Marrying your Mommy, of course."His other friends ask him if he has any regrets, but he shakes his head.I weep so hard I can barely watch the rest.However, just then, the AI system displays the final entry, showing a question that he had set up for himself. The question asks, "If you could restart your life from the age of 22, would you still marry Carmen Mosley?"The Aaron on the screen falls silent for a long time. Finally, he shakes his head and says, "No, I won't. I will rush to the airport and ask Nancy Greene to stay instead."That year, Nancy went abroad just as I lost both my parents in a horrible car crash. Aaron gave up on pursuing her and kept me company for the next 20 years.Everyone tells me that it's true love. But now, I realize that he just can't bear the thought of abandoning me at that time.When I open my eyes again, I realize that I'm reborn on the third day after Mom and Dad's horrific crash.Aaron is seated next to my hospital bed, and I happen to notice the notification on his phone screen reminding him of Nancy's boarding time at the airport.In my past life, I'd grabbed onto the hem of his shirt and cried all night long. But this time, I take my own phone and call him an Uber for the airport instead."It's going to take 40 minutes to get to the airport," I say. "You'll still be able to make it if you leave now."
