"I probably won't be coming back," he said indifferently and then stood up to walk toward the door.
"Oh…" At this time, Mrs. Johnson still hadn't grasped what Samuel Johnson meant by "won't be coming back." She naively thought that Samuel wouldn't be coming home for dinner that evening.
If she could have understood what he meant earlier, held onto him that day, would the events that followed never have occurred?
Mrs. Johnson didn't know, but every single sleepless night in the future, she would regret why she hadn't held onto his hand that day.
Allowing him to leave for so long.
*****************************************
Samuel Johnson took a flight out of the country that very day.
After so many days of contemplation, he felt that he had to find her.
Even if they couldn't be together in the future, he wanted to clear things up with her.
With this obsession, he began five years of wandering.
