I understood how much my identity depended on Jake as we talked. As I sat across from Tom, I felt free and possible. This person prioritized honesty over convenience. It was refreshing and oddly hopeful.

I gained hope as we exited the café. I was ready to move on and welcome change. Whatever the future contained, I was on my way to happiness again, one piece at a time.
