The story has enough drama i wanted to read it...
The plot twist feels like there is something missing...
If i was with a man for most of my life and he drops me for a new shiny play toy just to come back to me... there would be a lot more drama there.
Overall it was a decent story.
Not much about Wendy in the beginning to show that he felt he was about to ask her to marry. Then while he was with sylvie what was wendy doing? Just sitting around waiting?
Also, the way he explained how Sylvie was exciting and fun and spontaneous and he tells wendy she was basically boring and comfortable why would wendy agree to marry him? She was and is plan B until a new Sylvie comes along.
The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves, no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
Robert Frost 1915
