The dance floor felt like their whole universe. Two amazing people held each other tightly, promising to reunite in ten years, no matter what life threw at them, whether it was joy or challenges.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t leave,\u201d Sally said softly, her mascara running from her tears. \u201cWhat will I do without you?\u201d she asked, her voice trembling.<\/p>\n
\u201cSally, going to school in Europe has always been your dream. I don\u2019t want to be the reason you don\u2019t chase it. You\u2019re meant for incredible things, and I don\u2019t want to limit your future,\u201d Peter replied, secretly wishing she would decide to stay.<\/p>\n

\nPeter pulled her closer, their fingers locked together, and made a promise to always stand by her side; she was the most beautiful girl he had ever laid eyes on.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeter, you have to promise me that you won\u2019t forget me. In ten years, let\u2019s meet at Times Square.\u201d
\n\u201cIf you\u2019re married by then, I\u2019d love to hear about your happiness\u2026 but no matter what, you have to promise to meet me. I\u2019ll have a yellow umbrella with me.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI promise,\u201d Peter replied, giving her hand a gentle squeeze. \u201cOn Christmas Eve, ten years from now, I\u2019ll be there, waiting for the most beautiful girl holding a yellow umbrella. I\u2019ll be there.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nThese two soulmates had hearts that beat together like a perfect rhythm. Even though they were going their separate ways, they understood that some goodbyes are really just \u201csee you later.\u201d<\/p>\n
Over the years, Sally and Peter kept in touch. But then, her letters suddenly stopped, and Peter started to worry about the girl who had captured his heart.<\/p>\n
No amount of time could change how he felt about her. His love for her only grew stronger with each day that passed.<\/p>\n
The idea of seeing her again after ten years filled Peter with excitement and hope.<\/p>\n
When the big day finally came, he felt deep down that Sally would be true to her word and wait for him at Times Square, holding a yellow umbrella.<\/p>\n

\nPeter was standing by the huge Christmas tree, looking through the sea of people for someone he knew. He was hoping to spot a familiar face and hear a laugh that he remembered so well.<\/p>\n
Time passed quickly, and even after an hour, Peter didn\u2019t feel bored. He believed it would be worth the wait.
\nOut of nowhere, he heard a small voice calling his name from behind him.<\/p>\n
He turned and saw a little girl with a yellow umbrella. Her eyes were big and familiar.<\/p>\n

\nThe girl nervously chewed on her lip, a familiar action that took Peter by surprise. He stood still for a second, noticing how the girl\u2019s umbrella shook in her small hands.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m Betty,\u201d she said softly, \u201cand she\u2019s not coming back.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat do you mean? Who are you?\u201d he questioned, even though deep down, he felt he already knew the answer.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m your daughter,\u201d she replied, her green eyes starting to fill with tears.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy daughter?\u201d Peter struggled to ask. But just as she was about to say more, a tall man in a sharp suit and a classy woman walked up to them.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cHello, Peter! It\u2019s great to finally see you. We\u2019ve heard a lot about you,\u201d the woman said with a warm smile.<\/p>\n
The man, looking very sad, added, \u201cWe are Sally\u2019s parents.\u201d<\/p>\n
Peter looked confused and worried. \u201cBut where is Sally? And why does this girl say she\u2019s my daughter?\u201d he questioned.<\/p>\n
At that moment, the woman started to cry. \u201cPeter, Sally is no longer with us. She passed away from cancer two years ago. She didn\u2019t want you to find out because she didn\u2019t want to add to your worries.\u201d<\/p>\n
Peter\u2019s whole world crushed. His Sally was gone \u2013 the only woman he ever loved.<\/p>\n

\nThis girl is your daughter. Sally was aware that your mom was really unwell, and she didn\u2019t want to add any stress to your life. However, she wished she had told you that she was expecting your baby.<\/p>\n
Peter couldn\u2019t find the words. He felt a mix of emotions swirling inside him. Sadness filled his heart, but there was also a surprising happiness because he now had a daughter, a piece of Sally that would always be with him.<\/p>\n
Sally\u2019s dad gave Peter a diary. It belonged to Sally. Inside, she wrote about the promise they made to each other to meet again in ten years, and that\u2019s how they discovered he would be waiting for her.<\/p>\n

\nPeter wrapped his arms around his daughter in a warm hug. He squeezed her close and vowed that he would always be there for her.
\nBetty was excited to tell him all about her mom, who had passed away, and he felt grateful to learn more about Sally\u2019s life through her stories.<\/p>\n
It took a lot of time and effort to bring Betty from France, where she had been living with her grandparents, but finally, she settled in with her dad. They made sure to visit her grandparents two times a year, and Betty quickly became the center of Peter\u2019s universe.<\/p>\n
