Aiden's retreating figure seemed to carry away her hopes and dreams, leaving her feeling empty and lost. The realization of what she had done hit her like a tidal wave, crashing against the shores of her conscience.
• Her eyes welled up with tears as she watched Aiden disappear into the distance. The love of her life slipping away, slipping through her fingers like grains of sand. How had it come to this? How had she allowed herself to jeopardize everything she held dear?
