"I sometimes think it would have been a better life if I'd stayed in the Navy."

A slight pause then she echoed my wish. "Yes. We would have met differently and stuff. But we would have had a great life. I've thought of it as well. We didn't have children. Would have been lots of fun. Traveling around the world. I've daydreamed about it, too."

Her vision of living another lifetime. Her reveries could be about anything. Right?

But her fantasy was about an entirely new life for us, together. 

Remembering why I fell in love in the first place.
