In the Arms of Another
He wiped his tears away, and this time his smile seemed genuine, even a little relieved.
"Jennifer, can you give me one last hug?"
He opened his arms, waiting quietly.
I hesitated, unsure whether I should step forward.
"Is even a final goodbye too much to ask?" There was disappointment and hurt in his eyes.

Finally, I smiled and stepped forward into his embrace.
"Take care, Ross. I wish you the best in your future."
He hugged me tightly, as if trying to press me into his very soul, just like the day I had agreed to be his girlfriend years ago.
