Emma was sitting at the table. Look for a blank document on her laptop. His fingers are on the keyboard. But his mind was elsewhere. Noah's words from the conversation still echoed in her head. “I don't want to lose you, Em. You are always important to me.
She sighed deeply. Feel the weight of his words. Noah was always her anchor. The only person she could talk to no matter what. Now, however, there was Liam, a man who had discovered excitement, passion, and passion that Emma hadn't experienced in years.
Memories of her night with Liam flooded her mind. The way he looked for her in the art gallery. The way he walked so easily while walking. And the way he handed her a rosu while walking. His chest felt hot thinking about it. But with the same speed together to blame He can decide.
Noah didn't deserve to be kept in the dark. She deserves honesty. But how could she even begin to explain what she was feeling? She is divided between two very different worlds. One world is history, safety, and deep emotional connection. And another world is new. unpredictability and excitement
Or someone tapped the phone. It was a message from Liam.
Liam: Hey Emma, any plans for tonight? I like to leave the você as jantar.
A small smile appeared on her face as she read the message. But that smile quickly disappeared as she realized her situation. She couldn't keep tying the two of them up like that.
Emma began digitizing the answers. But stopped in the middle of the road Her thoughts drifted to the night she and Noah walked across the grass all those years ago. It was a summer night and they had graduated from high school. The sun is setting. Throw the golden tom into the water. and the air was warm with a gentle breeze blowing.
They are talking about the future, their dreams, and what awaits them. Emma suddenly learned that Noah stopped walking and looked at her. His eyes were soft and sincere.
“You know, no matter where life takes us, You will always be a part of me,” he said in a firm and resolute tone.
She smiled without thinking much at the time. But now, looking back She realized how deeply he meant those words. Noah always stood by his side. up and down Our laughter and tears, and now you're here. Divided between that story and the man she just met.
The phone rang again. Another message from Liam.
Liam: Just wanted to check in. I hope you have a great day.
Emma's heart beat faster at her words. Liam has a way of making people feel seen. It is valuable in a new and exciting way. He was different from Noah – more natural and more drunk. But does that mean he has to choose?
She was playing on her laptop, unable to concentrate but writing about her love affair. The internal conflict was so murderous. She grabbed her jacket and decided to walk over to clear her head.
When M comes and goes The night breeze blows across your cheek. It gave the impression of clarity that he was missing. The streets are quiet. There were hardly any passersby. Her footsteps echoed softly as she headed towards the next park. A place she visited every time she needed to think.
The park has always been a place of comfort for Emma. It is where she decided to escape. Figar Socinha and her thoughts. As she sat on the bench She let out a long sigh. and felt the tension in her shoulders slightly ease.
Maybe I think too much, you think about me. Maybe not as complicated as I imagined.
But I don't encourage her to know that she is. She fell in love with Liam. But at the same time She couldn't deny her feelings for Noah, yes, they were different. But that doesn't make them any less real.
As she sat there Drowning in thoughts Her mind turned to other memories. This time it was the night she and Noah spent at a friend's wedding. It was a beautiful ceremony. Filled with laughter, music, and dancing, Emma marvels as she and Noah dance under the stars. With lights shining above them as they move to the music.
“You're a terrible dancer, Noah,” she teased, giggling as he tripped over his own feet.
“I know,” he admitted with a smile. “But as long as I dance with you. I don't care.”
She looked back on that hour. But now that moment seems very important. Noah was always present at all the important events of his life. And now she recognizes or thinks it's something she's gained.
Emma's phone rang again. Pull her out of her thoughts. This time it wasn't Liam, it was Noah.
Noah: Hey, are you okay? Today there is no news about this at all.
His heart sank when he read the message. Noah felt something was wrong. Even though she doesn't know anything. She looked for her phone, not knowing what to say. Should she tell him the truth? Should she let him know about Liam?
Before she could answer Suddenly, waves of emotion and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes. She wasn't ready for that. She had no intention of choosing between them. But she knew she couldn't avoid it forever.
Emma wiped her eyes and stood up from the bench and started walking again. Her mind was full of ideas of what to do, in fact she didn't know if she was going to say goodbye to Noah or not. Or is she about to hug Liam completely?
as she walks The sun began to set over the horizon. Shining a soft orange light So she remembered that night on the beach with Noah. And she wonders how things turned out. Will it be this easy?
When you come home She decided She couldn't keep manipulating her feelings like that. She needed to have a frank conversation with Noah and Liam. But this idea is scary.
Emma sat on the sofa and answered the phone. His fingers ran over the fabric as she tried to decide which one to tie first.
