lphas Second Choice novel Chapter 8

Chapter 8

Still, my relationship with Issac remained lukewarm. Whenever we crossed paths at the base, we would simply nod at each other.

But Issac refused to let go.

He pulled me into a corner of the training field.

“Freya, I was wrong, I’m sorry… Can you forgive me?”

He looked at me with hope in his eyes.

I shook my head.

Some scars never fully heal, and a relationship that’s cracked is never truly unbroken. It’s better to keep a distance.

Issac forced a bitter smile. “Alright, as you wish.”

A tear glistened in the corner of his eye.

I knew he was hurt, but I could no longer empathize with him.

This relationship would linger in this awkward, incomplete way–until maybe one day I understood, or perhaps never would.

I’d leave it to time.
