I did the hard thing, the thing everyone says you can't do. I went home.

Home. It was the only place I'd ever really been happy, even though the happiest I'd ever been was with him.

He was the only one I wanted for the rest of my life.

Our life could have been beautiful, but he broke us. He broke me when he slid his ring off my finger.

And now I have to move on. I have to move forward. With Matthias. The man who waited 17 years for me. The one who never stopped loving me...

Maybe all the months of pain, the turmoil that threatens to drown me, all of it will be worth it - for Mats. For us to finally get our chance to see if we were always meant to be.
