Suzy looked forlorn, David had just dumped her.They were all set to go on this exotic vacation to Paris and she had a feeling he would propose her.
But, it all ended abruptly.
The tear stricken Suzy sat cursing her fate,looking at the sun setting in the horizon.The Paris tickets need to be cancelled, she made a note.
Not really?Paris can be fun alone as well.
This was her moment of epiphany.I don’t need a man to complete me.I am bloody good for myself! With that, she rushed home, there was lots to be done before the flight tomorrow.

Glad she realised she can be just as happy with herself – and Paris is a great city regardless!

Dear Akshata,
Good for her and her epiphany. If only more women would have that same experience there might me fewer #metoo’s 😉 Enjoy your time in Paris. Take lots of pictures.
Shalom,
Rochelle

Yay! She’s right! She doesn’t NEED a man to validate her. And she’ll be much more attractive with that self-confident attitude.

I cannot remember the show I watched that this reminded me of. A girl goes to Paris to podcast a guy who traveled 1/2 way around the world to meet a girl he wanted to propose to.Good Twist, too.
