Here is a possible new ending in 50-70 words: Griselda thought long and hard about Walter's request. Though he had caused her immense pain, she still cared for him deeply. However, she realized she deserved to be treated with love, respect and kindness. So Griselda told Walter she could not forgive him, and that while she wished him the best, she must move on and find happiness elsewhere. Walter was heartbroken but realized his mistakes, and hoped Griselda would find the happiness he failed to provide her.
