He thought of the first time they had met, her look of curiosity and fair dose of defiance. He recalled how she had stared at him and from the look in her eyes he felt as if the whole world was his.Seth, yearned for something that he could not describe, but it gave him deep anguish in his chest. And although every other man who his pride would be equally frustrated, hurt, and betrayed by Phoebe’s actions.There was obviously love in Seth’s heart for phoebe. It was a love that had been put through the rigors and the stress but it is not totally killed. He realized that he can no longer bypass these feelings and that he had to face it whether he wants to get back together with her or to fully let her go.At least for a moment, there was a feeling that they could start over and fix all the things that were wrong. But he had his doubts, which remained an indecisive haze in his mind. Can they actually let go of the bitterness and get their lives back to a happ

Phoebe sank into her new armchair, clutching the phone to her ear. Sarah’s voice was a balm to her raw nerves, a reminder of happier times before everything had become so complicated."I've been through a lot, Sarah," Phoebe said, her voice wavering. "My marriage... it fell apart. I’m in a new place now, trying to start over."There was a brief silence on the other end before Sarah spoke, her tone gentle and filled with concern. "I'm so sorry to hear that, Phoebe. You deserve so much better. Why didn’t you call me earlier? I could have been there for you."Phoebe sighed, her eyes welling up with tears. "I was ashamed, I guess. I didn’t want anyone to know how bad things had gotten.""Phoebe, you don’t have to go through this alone. We’ve been friends for so long. Remember college? How we used to stay up all night talking about our dreams and our fears?"Phoebe smiled through her tears, recalling those late night conversations. "Yeah, I re

Her thoughts went to Seth and mixed emotions still linger with her. She recognised that their base is far from being a picture perfect couple, but she knew there is something deep inside her that still has feelings for him. The question that rose was, “can two people who are in love with each other look for ways to get back together after so many hurtful moments or are they are to remain separated forever?”With that, Phoebe shook her head waving the thoughts away to the back of her mind where she forced it to remain. Tonight was not the time for such seriously thoughtful thinking. The situation required her to take a closer look at herself and start on her own healing process.Going home, Phoebe felt something off her chest and she was utterly free. That evening she went to bed and for the first time in a while she slept and woke up very much at peace. With everything that Sarah has done for her plus her mindset, she felt somehow at peace.

“I’m glad you think so, then let us prepare for it. So, the first step could be something like a gallery or a community center.” “That sounds perfect. I feel more reassured by it already.” ‘And maybe that will make someone else who doesn’t think they have any artistic skills, realize that they do, and start painting trees too.’ Phoebe replied. "Oh, without a doubt! Art also has the facility to create closure and make people see life from a different angle. I am quite looking forward to this, Phoebe.” “Oh me too Jason It’s good to have the prospect of something to look forward to and another thing is that it is always better to go through it with a friend.” ‘By the way, have you got any near trips in the pipeline? I know that traveling to new places makes me feel like I discover new muse’Jadon asked her expectingly. “No at the moment, but I have been entertaining the idea of going for a mountain trip since la

They both went on with the conversation until midnight, discussing more of the things they wanted for themselves and for each other, and even their fears. Finally, just before the chiming of the clock twelve, Christian saw Phoebe trying to hide her yawn. “Tired are you; might as well spend the night here, I have an extra bedroom and you can… sleep in there,” he said. Phoebe looked at her for a moment and then slowly nodded. “I do, Christian and thanks for the compliment.” Christian introduced her to the guest room and ensured she had all that she wanted or needed. “If there is anything you require please feel free to knock on my door, I am just a door away.” Phoebe got comfortable in the guest room, was glad to be in Christian’s apartment which was warm and comfortable. The lovely outfit he had bought her was comfortable sleepwear that she slipped into; she got on the bed but sleep never came. Day’s activities and almost bl
