Leaps of Faith

Lost love, a solo trip, and an ultimatum.

I always dreamed about moving down south and living a fun adventurous life by the

seaside.

I knew Lucas had reservations about moving, but I kept telling him that his family

should not dictate his life—he is a fully grown man and should make his own

decisions.

I understand his skepticism though. He had to step up at a young age, and I know he

didn’t want to leave them if they needed him.

But when I came home to find that letter, my whole world changed.

I was left with two choices: Stay where I was and live a miserable unfulfilling life, or

make the trip down south myself.

And that’s exactly what I did.

Now—after I have successfully moved on from my relationship with Lucas, and when

I am living my dream life—he has gotten back in touch.

He wants to rekindle our romance. He said he made a mistake, and he wants to drive

down and see me.

What do I do? Of course, I still have feelings for him, but my whole life has changed

now—is there space for Lucas in it?

Now, I am torn between the excitement and unknowing of something new, and the

safety and security of something old.

I have no idea which one I will choose.
