He sighed sadly as he reread the letter in his trembling hands. Her words wounded him deeply, like poisoned daggers digging into his heart. How could he explain the truth to her without hurting her more?
Everything had changed since she took that job in the city. The long days consumed him, leaving little time for messages and calls. It wasn't her intention to move away, but the distance had become an unbridgeable gulf between them.
She tried in vain to tell him about the mysterious man who hovered around the office, making her life impossible with his constant harassment. He feared her reaction, her distress. He preferred to keep quiet, isolating himself in his own hell so as not to worry her.
A tear rolled down his cheek as he reread the last line ‘Impossible long-distance loves are the most sincere, because you fall in love with your soul’. How to preserve that true love when circumstances conspired to shatter it?
She would have to gather her courage and face the challenges, whatever the cost.
