Chapter 12: In Search of Happiness

Doubt lingers in the following days, and Sara and Lucas decide to take a short time to reflect separately. During that time, Clara, Sara's best friend, notices a sparkle in her friend's eyes and realizes that something special is happening.

Clara: (smiling) Hey, can I talk to you for a moment?

Sara: (nods) Sure, what's up?

Clara: (sits in front of her) I think I know what's going on. You've fallen in love, haven't you?

Sara: (blushing) Is it that obvious?

Clara: (laughs) A bit. But that's wonderful, Sara. I'm glad to see that you've found someone who makes you so happy.

Sara: (sighs) Yes, it is. But I'm also scared. I don't know if I should let myself go with this.

Clara: (holds her hands) Look, love always comes with some risk. But that doesn't mean you should push it away out of fear. Sometimes, happiness is within our reach, we're just afraid to reach for it.

Sara: (reflects) You're right. Lucas makes me feel things I've never felt before, and I don't want to let this opportunity slip away.

Clara: (smiles) That's the spirit, my friend. You don't know what the future holds, but you deserve to be happy and live this love story.

With Clara's support, Sara gathers the courage to face her fears and seek out Lucas. Together, they will have an honest and sincere conversation about their feelings and how they want to move forward. In a romantic gesture, Lucas will take Sara's hand and invite her for a walk in the rain, where they will find the courage to embrace love and allow themselves to be happy together, no matter what the future holds for them.
