Everlasting Love

The next few weeks passed in a blur for Emily and Sam. They continued to work hard at their respective jobs, and spent their free time exploring the city and enjoying each other's company.

One night, as they were getting ready for bed, Emily turned to Sam. "I have something to tell you," she said hesitantly.

Sam looked up, curious. "What is it?"

"I've been thinking a lot about what Jake said," Emily began. "And it made me realize something."

"What's that?" Sam asked, sitting up in bed.

"I realized that I never really got closure with Jake," Emily said. "I never got to properly say goodbye or get closure on our relationship."

Sam nodded, understanding. "Do you want to talk to him?" he asked.

Emily shook her head. "No, I don't think that's a good idea," she said. "But I think I need to write him a letter. Just to get everything off my chest and finally have some closure."

Sam reached out and took her hand. "I support you, whatever you need to do," he said.

Emily smiled gratefully at him, feeling so lucky to have him in her life. "Thank you," she said. "I just need to figure out what to say."

Over the next few days, Emily worked on her letter to Jake. She poured her heart and soul into it, sharing all of her thoughts and feelings about their past relationship and how much she had grown and changed since then.

When she finally finished, she read it over one last time before folding it up and tucking it away in a drawer. She knew that sending it would not change anything, but it was important for her own healing and closure.

As the days turned into weeks, Emily found herself feeling lighter and happier. She knew that writing the letter had been a turning point for her, and that she was finally able to let go of the past and focus on her future with Sam.

One day, as they were sitting on the couch, Sam turned to Emily. "I have something to ask you," he said, looking nervous.

Emily felt a sense of excitement wash over her. "What is it?" she asked.

Sam took a deep breath. "I know we've only been together for a few months, but I know that I want to spend the rest of my life with you," he said. "Emily, will you marry me?"

Emily felt tears welling up in her eyes as she looked at Sam, the man she loved more than anything in the world. "Yes, Sam," she said, smiling through her tears. "I will marry you."

As Sam slipped a ring onto her finger, Emily felt a sense of joy and contentment wash over her. She knew that she was exactly where she was meant to be, with the man she loved, and that their future together was bright and full of promise.

Over the next few weeks, Emily and Sam began to plan their wedding. They decided on a small ceremony with just their closest friends and family, and they picked a beautiful outdoor venue that overlooked the ocean.

Emily spent hours scouring Pinterest and wedding magazines for inspiration, and she and Sam spent countless hours discussing the details of the big day.

As the wedding drew closer, Emily found herself feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness. She couldn't wait to marry Sam, but she was also anxious about everything going smoothly on the day of the wedding.

Finally, the day of the wedding arrived. Emily woke up early and spent hours getting ready with her bridesmaids. As she slipped into her dress, she felt a sense of calm wash over her. She knew that marrying Sam was the best decision she had ever made, and that everything else would fall into place.

When she walked down the aisle and saw Sam waiting for her at the end, tears streamed down her face. They exchanged their vows in front of their loved ones, and as they kissed, Emily felt like everything was right in the world.

The reception was a blur of dancing and laughter, and Emily and Sam barely left each other's sides all night. As they drove away from the venue, hand in hand, Emily knew that she was truly living the life she had always dreamed of.

Over the next few months, Emily settled into married life with Sam. They bought a house together and began to build a life together that was full of love, adventure, and happiness.

Looking back on her journey, Emily realized that everything had led her to this moment. All of the heartbreak and pain had been worth it, because it had brought her to Sam, the love of her life.

As she sat in her living room, with Sam's arms wrapped around her, Emily knew that she was exactly where she was meant to be. She had found her forever, and she was grateful for every moment they had together.
