Departure

The engine hummed softly as Sherly navigated the familiar streets toward the airport, the rhythm of the road drowning out her thoughts. She stole a glance at Vin, whose attention was absorbed by his phone, occasionally interrupted by a quick check of his wristwatch. The silence between them was heavy, the weight of impending separation palpable in the air.

Sherly couldn't help but reflect on the journey that had led them to this moment. Once carefree and spontaneous, she now found herself tethered to responsibilities and obligations, the allure of relocating to Vin's city overshadowed by the demands of her career. She knew she had to assert herself in the company, to carve out her place and fight for what was rightfully hers.
