A Journey Back to Us

Emma had been lost in her thoughts for weeks, torn between the silence that had stretched between them and the pull of her own doubts. She had missed him more than she cared to admit, but her fear had kept her away, unsure of how to bridge the gap that had formed.

It was only after she had spent some time reflecting, working through the noise in her head, that she realized how much she truly needed to see him. Despite the distance, despite the unresolved feelings and uncertainty, she couldn't keep running away from the pull he had on her.

The decision wasn’t easy. It took a few days of pacing, weighing the consequences ... but the urge to be close to him—if only for a few moments—was stronger than any doubt. So, she packed their bags, making sure Hazel was ready, and boarded the plane to Rome.

When she arrived at the hotel, the sight of him, just being in the same space, made everything feel real again. She stood there for a moment, her heart racing, unsure of what to say. The last thing she wanted was for it to feel awkward, but the words didn’t come easily. He looked different—still the same Leif in many ways, but his absence in her life had left a shadow on the person she had once known so well.

When he finally saw her, everything seemed to stop for a second. She watched his expression change as he took her in, the weight of everything between them hanging in the air. But he didn't pull away. Instead, he reached out, and for the first time in weeks, they stood there, close enough to feel the familiarity of each other, the way they used to.

He didn’t need to say much. She could see it in his eyes—the relief, the longing, the understanding. And somehow, in that moment, despite everything that had kept them apart, they both knew that this was what they needed. It wasn’t perfect. There were still things to work through, but the reunion felt like the start of something they both needed to fix, together.
