Love in Separation

I run away when things get too difficult. 


I would like to think that I got it from my father who used to run away from home when he gets scolded when he was young, but I’d be lying. 


I started running away ever since I started feeling like I should bear my burdens alone. 


Whenever I think of Jeremy running after me, I know I wouldn’t like it. I can’t have him pop up suddenly when I deliberately wanted to be away from him. 


So how is it that when Drayce’s gaze shifts from the waterfall to me, I only felt relief? 


He was also a contributing factor to why I am running away. 


I badly wanted to not see him as much because seeing him ignites the lingering feelings I still have for him. 


I don’t want to be in love with a betrothed man anymore. 


Mara let go of my hand and ran towards Drayce. 


When she’s closer to him, he bent his knees and scoops her up to his arms with a grin.
