The days following Michael and Melissa's decision to take a break were filled with an uncomfortable silence in the farmhouse. The once joyful home was now heavy with unspoken emotions and the weight of unresolved feelings. Sarah and Richie continued to be supportive, but they couldn't shake the tension that hung over everyone.
Michael spent much of his time alone, reflecting on everything that had happened. His thoughts were a whirlwind, but one thing became increasingly clear to him—his love for Melissa was stronger than ever. No matter the obstacles, he knew in his heart that she was the one for him.
On a Sunday evening, as he sat in the garden under a sky filled with stars, Michael found himself replaying memories of his time with Melissa. The way she laughed, the way her eyes lit up when she was excited, and the way she made him feel alive in a way he hadn't experienced before. He realized he couldn't imagine his life without her.
