Chapter 45 : Confronting the Problem

There is no time like the present to change the path of your future. For if we live in the past too long, we get caught up in what could have been instead of setting forth what can be.

I didn’t think I would be able to get past what had happened, but as always, Allegra was able to get me through it all. She distracted my mind so I wasn’t sitting around, thinking about how what I desired to have with James could never happen.

“What do you think about these sandals?” Allegra asked as I looked through an array of sunglasses in a shop near the beach. Turning to her, I tilted my head a bit as I stared down at her feet.

“Those are actually really cute.”

“I thought so too,” She muttered before pulling her wallet from her purse and handing the cashier money. “I’m getting them.”

Looking around further, I tried to see if there was anything I could find I might enjoy. However, the more I looked, the more everything seemed to remind me of James.
