ARIA

As the night progresses and the hours slip away, I find myself swept up in a whirlwind of emotions. Sitting here with Cade, beneath the blanket of stars, I can’t help but feel a rush of nostalgia wash over me. It’s as if time has stood still, and for a moment, I’m transported back to a time when we were young and carefree, with our whole lives before us.

But beneath the surface, there’s a torrent of conflicting emotions swirling within me. On one hand, there’s the undeniable pull of love and longing—the feeling of being reunited with the person who once held my heart in their hands. I can feel my heart singing with joy at the thought of having Cade back in my life, even if only for a fleeting moment.

But on the other hand, there’s a sense of trepidation, a fear of opening old wounds and revisiting past hurts. The memories of our break-up still linger fresh in my mind, a painful reminder of the distance that had grown between us over the years. And as much as I want to believe that things could be different this time around, I can’t shake the feeling of uncertainty that gnaws at the edges of my heart.

I can’t deny the love I still feel for my small bakery and the simplicity of life in our small town. The familiar faces, the comforting routines—they all hold a special place in my heart. But I also know that Cade’s heart belongs to the city, with its bustling streets and endless opportunities. His ambition has always been one of his defining traits, and I worry that even if we were to reconcile, he might ultimately choose his career over mine.

The thought is like a knife twisting in my chest, filling me with a sense of dread and uncertainty. What if I’m not enough to make him stay? What if our connection isn’t strong enough to overcome the obstacles that lie ahead? It’s a painful realization, one that threatens to shatter the fragile hope I’ve been holding onto since our reunion.

But even amidst my doubts and fears, there’s a part of me that refuses to give up hope. Maybe, just maybe, love can conquer all—even the seemingly insurmountable divide between our worlds.

Lost in my thoughts, I glance at Cade, taking in the familiar lines of his face and the warmth of his gaze. “Cade,” I begin tentatively, my voice barely above a whisper. “Do you ever wonder what could have been?”

He turns to look at me, his eyes searching mine for answers. “All the time,” he admits softly, his voice tinged with regret.

His words hit me like a punch to the gut, the weight of his admission settling heavily on my shoulders. “Yeah, me too,” I murmur, my voice barely audible over the sound of the crashing waves. “I guess some things are just out of our control.”

But despite the heaviness of our conversation, there’s a sense of comfort in being able to share our thoughts and feelings so openly.
