Dr. Sophia patel stepped off the train.

Familiar scent of saltwater and blooming flowers enveloping her like warm hug. Fifteen years have passed since she'd left Oakwood,her coastal hometown. The pain of her past still lingered. But Sophia was determined to face it head on.

As she walk through the station Sophia eyes met those of Alex Williams, her former best friend. His bright smile and sparkling eyes stirred memories she thought were long buried.

"Hey, stranger!" Alex exclaimed, embracing Sophia warmly.

"What brings you back?" Alex asked,his curiosity genuine.

Sophia hesitate, unsure how much to reveal. "Just visiting" she said, forcing a smile.
