If Only

후회·가정

We sprinted but the train pulled away anyway. "I should have left ten minutes earlier," I groaned. She just laughed and said next time.
The weekend had vanished in a blur. "I wish I had more time to relax," I sighed. She nodded, feeling exactly the same.
One small thing would have changed it all. "If only I'd set an alarm," I said. We both knew it was a lesson learned.
We were trading hypotheticals over late coffee. "What would you do if you won the lottery?" I asked. Her answer surprised me completely.
The news confirmed what I'd suspected all along. "Ha — I knew it!" I said, half laughing. Some hunches just refuse to be wrong.
