Part 3: Realizations and Reunions
384 Words
Cara couldn’t shake the memory of Liam’s words. She thought back to her dreams and noticed a detail she’d overlooked: the boy had a scar on his hand, identical to Liam's. With newfound clarity, she agreed to meet Liam at a restaurant to finish their work. This time, their meeting was calmer. The tension between them softened as they talked about their dreams, their college years, and their lingering feelings.
Over time, they grew close again. One evening, Liam celebrated a career milestone at a bar and invited Cara. Nervous yet excited, she joined him. As they shared drinks and laughter, their connection deepened. That night, they both dreamed again—but this time, Cara wasn’t running. She sat on the ground, waiting for Liam.
When he arrived, she asked, “Are you the man I met at the bar?” He replied, “Yes. Are you the girl I’ve dreamed of all these years?” She nodded, and for the first time, they talked openly about their past promises. The dream ended with Liam proposing the idea of marriage. Cara woke up wondering if it was just a dream or destiny.
