The perfume I carelessly threw away hid a secret that could have changed everything — but I found out too late

The perfume bottle, which at first was a reminder of dissatisfaction, was now the most valuable gift he had ever given it to me.

That night, I put it on my nightstand not as a reminder of loss but as a love that outlasted everything. I never sprayed it because in some way, using it felt like giving up on something divine.
