As Sean watched the proceedings he missed her so bad he ached with it. Letting her get away was one of the great tactical errors of his adult life. He should have found a way to convince her they'd be fine together without marriage, without a bunch of ankle-biters. But at twenty-eight, pumped up on his fighter-pilot prowess, he'd been overconfident. He had especially not been ready for some woman to be calling the shots. Now, at thirty-two, he realized how stupid he'd been at twenty-eight.
Sean sat watching the events unfold, overwhelmed by a deep sense of longing for a lost love. He recognized that allowing her to slip away was a significant mistake he had made in his life. Reflecting on his youth, he realized he should have tried harder to persuade her that a life together could be fulfilling without the traditional expectations of marriage and children. His confidence in his own abilities as a fighter pilot had led him to underestimate the importance of genuine relationships.
Now at thirty-two, Sean felt a profound regret for his past decisions. The realization that he hadn't been prepared for someone like her, who wasn't afraid to take the lead, hit him hard. This newfound wisdom came from experience and maturity, revealing just how naïve he had been four years prior. He recognized that true partnership requires flexibility and willingness to embrace different lifestyles, rather than rigidly adhering to societal norms.
