Lara continued, her gaze steady, “not because I stopped loving him… but because I finally understood that love shouldn’t feel like a battle I have to fight alone. For so long, I thought letting go meant giving up. That it meant I failed. But now…” She looked up, eyes clearer than they had been in weeks. “Now I see it differently.

Anna gently patted my back and comforted me softly, saying, "It's okay. It's okay. It will pass."
