In the Crossroads

Morgan looked at Melody's face as his mind tried to figure out what she had said. He could feel a raw emotion that made her seem both strong and weak. As he thought about the question that was now hanging in the air, he looked confused and sad at the same time.

His eyes shifted for a moment, and his mind went back and forth between the promise he had made to Sarah and the strong connection he had found with Melody. At that moment, he had a flash of doubt in his eyes that revealed the struggle going on in his heart.

With a heavy sigh, Morgan finally met her unwavering gaze. His voice, filled with a mixture of earnestness and turmoil, broke the tense silence. "Melody," he began, his voice tinged with a hint of regret, "I... I need some time to think. This decision, it's not one I can make lightly or hastily."
