Can You Forgive Me?

Emma Hart held a steadfast belief that Damien Sterling would indeed find her; she was certain of it. 

Abruptly, the ceaseless flow of traffic came to a halt. 

Once the vehicles in front passed, no others followed, leaving the highway deserted within a minute. 

Emma looked into the distance, puzzled by the sudden change.

Soon after, the sound of an approaching vehicle broke the silence. 

A light pierced through the darkness, illuminating the path ahead as a car sped towards her, coming to a halt right in front of Emma. 

A man emerged from the car, umbrella in hand, striding quickly towards her.

Emma's vision blurred, unsure if it was due to rain or tears. 

A smile spread across her face as she moved towards Damien, who, seeing Emma step forward, hurriedly closed the distance to stand in front of her.
