The relationship ended.
Sarah was devastated, but she did what she had always done when life disappointed her: she went back to work.
She told friends she was finished with dating.
She poured her energy into projects, traveled when she could, spent time with family and convinced herself that being single was not simply something she could tolerate—it was something she could enjoy.
For a while, she truly believed it.
Then she met Rashid.
The Man Who Changed Her Mind
Sarah hadn’t been searching for anyone when Rashid entered her life.
Perhaps that was part of the reason their connection surprised her so much.
Rashid was forty-five, successful in business and comfortable in almost every room he entered. But what attracted Sarah wasn’t his success.
It was the way he treated people.
