We got married two years later in a small, private ceremony. During his vows, Simon looked at me with a gaze that made me feel truly seen for the first time.
“I saw you in that coffee shop with those suits,” he said. “And I knew right then that I never wanted you to be alone in the truth ever again.”
I realized then that the day I thought my life was ending was actually the day I was finally set free.
THE END.
