Debbie had always been someone who loved deeply, with her whole heart. When she fell for Pasco, it wasn't just a fleeting crush or a casual affection. It was the kind of love that consumed her, that made her believe in forever despite the miles that stretched between them.
She remembered the late-night calls, where they'd talk about
their future—places they'd visit, the home they might one day share. For Debbie, every word was a promise, a thread in the tapestry of their shared dreams.But for Pasco, it was different.
Looking back, she saw the signs she had ignored. His responses often lacked the same intensity. While she stayed
up late to hear his voice, he sometimes seemed distracted or distant. When he finally ended things through a cold,
impersonal text during the pandemic, it shattered her. For Debbie, their relationship had been a lifeline during
those isolating months. For Pasco, it had been something much less.
