Rebuilding Trust
Trust had been shattered in the wake of Jacob’s betrayal, not just in others but in herself. Elena struggled with second-guessing her own instincts, wondering how she had missed the signs for so long. It took time and patience, but through therapy and self-reflection, she began to rebuild that trust. She learned to listen to her inner voice again, to trust her gut feelings. Slowly, she realized that the fault wasn’t hers for loving, but for staying in a situation where love was no longer enough.

A New City, A New Start
Eventually, Elena made the decision to move to a new city entirely. She needed a fresh start, away from the places that reminded her of Jacob and their life together. She found a small apartment in a quiet neighborhood by the sea. The ocean brought her peace, its rhythmic waves soothing her troubled mind. Every morning, she walked along the shore, feeling the sand beneath her feet, the salt air filling her lungs. It felt like a symbolic cleansing, a new chapter of her life unfolding.
