The Moment She Chose Him

She couldn't run anymore.

She couldn't deny what was already in her heart.

So, that night, she found him in his study.

When he looked up, she took a deep breath and said, "I don't want to leave."

His eyes widened.

"I don't know where this will lead," she continued, voice shaking, "but I know I don't want to pretend anymore."

For a long moment, he just stared at her.

Then, he closed the distance between them and kissed her—this time, not with hesitation, but with certainty.

And she knew…

She had just made the most important decision of her life.
