Carefully Planned

Veronica reads the note and it turns out that her husband had planned it all. By some miracle, he knew she would still go on her scuba-diving trip and arranged for Mike, the instructor, to “plant” the trunk — so to speak. “Just know that I love you so much, I always have and I always will. Forever and ever.” Richard wrote, signing off with a love heart that had been smudged — not by the water, but by Veronica’s tears.
