CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND THREE
Lucas
The date last night changed things; I can feel that. It brought us closer together. It was exactly what we needed.
Still, sometimes something feels off. Things are still a little odd as we go about our day the next day.
We’re working towards something better, a glorious future together. Yet it’s going to take time to work through this. I know I need to be patient, but that can be difficult.
I can sense the shift within her. It’s too noticeable to ignore. And I wonder if she’s aware of it. Or if this will simply become our new norm.
Guilt swamps me as I watch Sarah try to absorb all of the changes that have happened since she left. I can tell it’s unsettling for her.
It’s unsettling for me too. It makes me wish I hadn’t done anything in her absence. Maybe I should’ve just left things how they were. I don’t know what to say to make it better.
