Red Card to Your Heart: You Don't Deserve My Love Extra Time

I cared for paralyzed Diego Ferreira for two years with unwavering devotion. Everyone assumed his first act upon standing would be to marry me.Diego had been a rising star for FC Porto before that devastating tackle shattered his lower limbs, ending his promising career as a Portuguese midfielder. I was there through every excruciating physical therapy session, every moment of despair when he thought he'd never walk again.Only I dared to ask him on the night of his successful surgery: "Do you still want to marry me?"He hesitated. That simple answer never left his lips.I laughed softly. "I understand."I removed my ring and left without hesitation that very night, walking away from the place I had called home for two years.
