The Long Lost Tale (Part XXIII)

That night, the lovers poured their heart and soul to each other once again. Saying goodbye for the second time around was much harder than the first.

Abigail could see the determination and will in Alex's eyes and she believed in him. She believed that he would fulfil his promise again. But there was something in her chest that didn't want to let him go.

She tried her best to cast it aside and to put all her hope, trust and faith in him but the feeling was persistent and she couldn't help but feel scared. She thought about why she was feeling this unease but she couldn't quite figure out the reason.

Before Alex left that day, they both climbed up the hill to watch the sunrise together. A new day dawned and they felt like this sunrise symbolized the start of a whole new life for them both. They had confessed their love for each other and they had given each other everything the night before; their minds, hearts and souls.
