LOVE IS PAIN

Several months later, Alex received a call that would challenge him in ways he hadn't expected. A case from his past resurfaced, one that he had always regretted, and now he had a chance to make amends. It was an opportunity to close a painful chapter of his life, but it also brought up old memories and fears.He spent long hours at work, trying to navigate the complexities of the case, and Jasmine noticed the toll it was taking on him. One evening, she found him in his office, staring at the documents spread out on his desk, his shoulders slumped with exhaustion."Alex," she said softly, placing a hand on his shoulder, "you don't have to do this alone. Let me help."He looked up at her, a weary smile on his face. "I'm just… afraid of messing up again. This case—it's haunted me for years, and now that I have a chance to fix it, I can't shake the fear."Jasmine sat beside him, her gaze steady and reassuring. "You've come so far, Alex. Whatever happens, I'm proud of you. Just take it one step at a time."Her words gave him the strength he needed, and with her support, he faced the case head-on. It wasn't easy, but he managed to find closure, to make peace with the mistakes of his past. And in doing so, he felt a weight lift from his shoulders, a sense of freedom he hadn't known before.
