Her world would never be the same. In twelve short hours Her life turned upside down. Another person in such a situation might be shaking with fury, but to her it was a welcomed chance at freedom.
Nothing held her back as she packed up her meager belongings and disappeared into the night. She knew a few people were going to miss her, but after the events of the day made the decision to leave an easy one. She never fit in with his family, and now she no longer needed to.
The hollow apologies would no longer follow her. Love, acceptance, and belonging awaited her just over the horizon. A soul Famished for attention would soon be sated. Her only regret was that she hadn’t taken this step sooner.
“I will see you soon,” she whispered to the wind. “We will no longer have to be apart.”
Her phone chimed in her pocket, and she picked up her pace as she headed through the quiet city streets.
She pulled out her phone, and her face lit up at the message on the screen.
-Meet me for coffee?-
-Yes, and it no longer has to be secret.-
Coffee was often the start of many things, but she never thought it would be the start of a new life. Either way, she couldn’t wait to find out.
