In the days following the reunion, Robert found himself unable to shake the memory of his evening with Kristen. The connection they shared was undeniable, and he couldn't help but feel drawn to her. However, thoughts of his girlfriend weighed heavily on his mind, making it difficult for him to fully embrace the possibility of reigniting the spark with Kristen.

As he went about his daily routine, memories of the promise he had made to Kristen all those years ago began to resurface. The word "someday" echoed in his thoughts, haunting him with the question of what could have been. Had he truly forgotten the promise, or had he simply convinced himself that it was no longer relevant?

Robert spent many sleepless nights reflecting on his life and his choices. He couldn't help but feel a sense of dissatisfaction with the path he had taken. Despite having a successful career and a loving girlfriend, there was still something missing.

During one particularly restless night, he found himself sitting in his living room, staring at the stars through the window. The sky seemed to hold the answers to all of life's most significant questions, yet the uncertainty remained.

"Why can't I just let go of the past?" he whispered to himself, feeling the weight of the unfulfilled promise heavy on his heart.

As the days turned into weeks, Robert found himself gradually drifting away from his girlfriend. He couldn't shake the nagging feeling that their relationship was missing something vital – the same connection and chemistry he had experienced with Kristen.

It became increasingly clear to Robert that he needed to confront his feelings and make a decision. He couldn't continue living in limbo, torn between the promise of the past and the comfort of the present. His heart ached for Kristen, but he knew he couldn't simply abandon the life he had built with his girlfriend.

With a heavy heart, Robert began to search for answers. He hoped that, in time, he would be able to find a way to reconcile his feelings for Kristen with the life he had chosen. Only then would he be able to lay the promise of "someday" to rest and move forward with his life, whether that meant being with Kristen or finding happiness elsewhere.
