My heart raced as my hometown came into view. The winding roads were lined with old oak trees and quaint houses. It looked exactly as I remembered it. It felt strange to be back here, as if I had stepped into a time capsule. The memories, both sweet and bittersweet, rushed back. Filling me with a mix of nostalgia and anxiety. I hadn’t been home in years. Not since I had made the decision that had shaken the very foundation of my relationship with my parents. The realization that I didn’t want to be a lawyer. The realization that I would turn down the family firm and the security it provided. On top of that, I couldn’t stop thinking about Damon and how far we had come. Sure, he had gone back to Nuport to start working on the plans for the complex, but it was different now. Better.
