The Decision
Amanda knew she couldn’t continue living in limbo. She had to make a decision about their future. One evening, she sat down with John, her expression resolute. “John, I need some space. I can’t keep living like this,” she said. John’s face fell. “Amanda, please, we can work through this,” he begged.
But Amanda shook her head. “I need to figure things out on my own. I need to heal,” she said. John’s eyes filled with tears, but he nodded, understanding her need for distance.
