The Night of Regret

Once there was a young married man who found himself in the company of a stunning woman. They agreed to spend the night together, with the man agreeing to pay $500 for her company. However, as the night came to an end, he couldn’t help but feel that it hadn’t lived up to his expectations. He believed that the amount he had agreed to pay was too much for what he had experienced.

Rather than paying her in cash, they decided that he would send her a check labeled as “apartment rent.” This way, they could part ways amicably. But the man, still dissatisfied, decided to send her only half of the agreed-upon sum along with a letter explaining his disappointment.

In the letter, he wrote:
“Dear Madam,
Enclosed, you will find a $250 check intended for your rent. I have sent a different amount than we initially agreed upon because when I rented the apartment, I had certain expectations. I expected a vacant apartment, a warm and cozy atmosphere, and a comfortable living space. However, last night, I discovered that the apartment had been previously occupied, lacked proper heating, and was too spacious for my liking.”

Upon receiving the letter and the reduced payment, the woman was taken aback. She promptly returned the check to the man and responded with her own letter:
“Dear Sir,
Firstly, I am astounded by the notion that you expected a beautiful apartment to remain vacant indefinitely. As for the heating issue, it is available if you know how to operate it properly. And concerning the room’s size, it is indeed quite sufficient. If you find the furnishings unsatisfactory, kindly refrain from blaming the landlord. I must warn you that if you do not remit a check for the full $500, I will have no choice but to contact your current landlord.”

James Walker stood at the airport check-in counter, his newborn daughter, Lily, cradled in his arms. His eyes were red-rimmed with exhaustion and grief, but he held himself together as best he could. His wife, Emily, had passed away during childbirth, leaving him as the sole parent to their fragile little girl. He was now trying to return home to Denver from New York, where Emily had wished to have their baby close to her parents. But just when he thought he was finally on his way home, the airline attendant shook her head. “I’m sorry, sir, but airline regulations require that infants be at least seven days old to board a flight without proper medical clearance. Your baby is only five days old. I can’t let you on this flight.” James swallowed hard. He had no idea about the rule. He had no hotel booked, no family in New York, and barely enough cash to get by. The thought of spending two more days alone in a strange city with his daughter was overwhelming. His voice cracked as he pleaded, “Please, I have nowhere to go. I just lost my wife. I need to get home.” Other passengers turned their heads, some offering sympathetic looks, but no one stepped forward to help—except for one. “Excuse me, young man,” came a warm yet firm voice from behind him. James turned to see an elderly woman with kind, gray eyes and a cane in her hand. “I couldn’t help but overhear. My name is Meredith Carter. And you’re coming with me.” James hesitated. “I— I don’t want to trouble you.” Meredith smiled. “Nonsense. I raised four children and six grandchildren. A newborn doesn’t scare me. You and your daughter need a safe place to stay, and I happen to have a cozy guest room just waiting to be used.” James felt an overwhelming wave of gratitude wash over him. With no other options, he nodded. “Thank you. Truly.” Meredith’s home was a charming brownstone filled with soft light and the scent of lavender. She showed James to a comfortable room and quickly set up a makeshift nursery with an old cradle she had kept from her grandchildren. That night, as James fed Lily, Meredith sat beside him with a warm cup of tea. “Emily would have loved her,” Meredith said softly, watching Lily’s tiny fingers curl around James’ hand. James looked up in surprise. “How did you know my wife’s name?” (continue reading in the 1st comment)⤵
