Hello, I would like advice on the structure of the sentence I have written below:
If only I had trusted her more; if only I had talked to her at the office; if only I had talked to her in my apartment; things may have been different. We could have worked together from the first day we met and planned something much sooner, then she might still be alive.
It's a list of if onlys, but I'm not comfortable that I have written it grammatically correct. Do you think it looks OK? and are the semicolons the best mechanics for seperating the phrases? I felt like I needed someting more than a comma. I tried using an emdash but that didn't seem quite right either.
