Their peaceful existence brought a sudden unexpected change from life that neither Olivia nor Liam expected. A prestigious job opportunity arrived for Liam but it required him to relocate across the country. He faced an impossible situation because the job was too great to decline.
The news about his job opportunity created heavy tension between them because both of them refrained from discussing the looming questions and doubts. The notion of living without Liam beside her made Olivia experience deadly fear which cast its shadow upon her heart. The possibility of a long-distance relationship seemed challenging because she doubted their love could survive both time and distance.
On that particular evening, Olivia spoke softly about her fear of losing him.
Liam held Olivia's face while his eyes displayed deep emotions of happiness with sadness. “You won’t,” he promised. “We’ve overcome so much already. The relationship can survive this challenge as long as we maintain the willingness to battle for it.
Their discussions extended to long periods as they examined multiple possibilities while looking at every available option. When Olivia finally found a calm space for sincere dialogue she fully understood that she needed to let Liam chase his future aspirations. Due to his great importance to her, she elected not to block his path toward this transformational chance that would shape his existence.
It wasn’t easy. Her entire existence vehemently fought to maintain the ease and peace of their partnership. She understood true love beyond holding people back thus she chose to enable him to advance even though challenges might arise during his growth.
Through wet eyes, Olivia chose to release Liam after making a courageous decision because she trusted their love could lead him to a bright future and bridge any distance.
She spoke those words as she interlocked her fingers with his. “It’s just a new chapter. We will discover a method to succeed together as a couple. No matter what.”
Liam embraced her in his arms at that moment while they understood their journey would continue indefinitely. The couple had survived earlier storms and became better because of it. This situation presented yet another test that they decided to confront as one united heart even though they might be separated by physical distance.
Both understood that their enduring bond would stay unbroken despite being distant from each other because their love had proven itself resilient.
