“The Hardest Thing I’ve Ever Done”
I loved him, I really did but I couldn’t do it anymore. I knew he would never let me leave him and I didn’t know what he would do when he realized I was gone. A tear trickled down my cheek. I quickly wiped it away, peeking around to be sure that nobody noticed.
It was the first time I’d seen a sunrise in as long as I could remember. Some people live for those moments, when the morning sun crests up over the horizon, but this was different. I had been planning it for several months and nobody suspected a thing. Dallas to Sao Paulo and I would finally be safe.
Fly and be free!
Well-described despair and hope. Good luck to her!
The love she feels is the worst part. Very good!
I like the feeling this story . Your words convey a sense of peace for this reader. The sunrise paragraph is powerful.
it’s a shame that this is what it takes just for happiness, but sometimes – this IS what it takes. well done.
The end of something, the beginning of a new life. Well done.
Sounds like her love was a one-way street leading to a dead end. I’m glad she got out of there. Nice job.
This story is so beautifully told through the things left unsaid.
P.S. I love your blog’s theme!
