Pasco, now determined to prove his worth, began
taking tangible steps to show Debbie he was serious about their future. He quit his father's firm and started working on his own architectural projects.
"I want to build something of my own," he told
Debbie one evening. "Something I can be proud of.
For us. "
Debbie saw the change in him, the maturity he had
gained. She couldn't deny that the boy who had once broken her heart was now becoming a man she could truly rely on.
But doubts lingered. Could they really overcome the pain of the past?
Pasco surprised her with a weekend trip to Siem
Reap, where they visited ancient temples and shared quiet moments of reflection.
As they sat together watching the sunrise over
Angkor Wat, Debbie felt a shift in her heart. Maybe,
just maybe, they were finding their way back to each other.
