He Never Saw Her Again
Robert’s optimism began to fade as the days, then weeks, then months passed without a trace of Flora or any new information about her whereabouts. It turns out that he died ten years after reporting Flora missing.
Robert spent the better part of his final years worrying about what had happened to his wife after she disappeared. He was never brought the closure that he deserved. But maybe everything had worked out well for him simply because he didn’t have to spend any more years of his life worrying about whether or not his wife would ever return.
