Juliet had watched all day as each woman entered the door that only unlocked itself on Leap Day.
Some came back smiling, while others would come back through the door crying.
It was her turn, and Glenn was waiting on the other side.
“Yes” was the word she heard when she proposed, but Juliet never returned through the door.
People waited for her, and there was still no sign of her four years later.
The two women married each other. Juliet stayed to rest in peace with her beloved Glenn.

Hi Sherri, I’m not sure where the door is. The photo was taken by Sue Vincent at the Daily Echo who used it as a prompt for a writing challenge.
