“What happens in Cornwall stays in Cornwall....”
That’s the last thing I say to him before I stop whatever it is between us and leave.
I never imagine my life to be this way. Whatever has happened to me isn’t something I ever expect to happen. I was happy. My life was perfect, well at least for me. I might not have the best life someone could ever imagine but I do have 2 wonderful kids and a great husband and I’m always grateful for it. I never expected more.
I can’t remember the exact moment when things started to change. When I suddenly felt empty, lonely, and everything just seemed so wrong. He says I was never happy, that I just pretended to be. He says I deserve to live my own dreams, not living the same old boring life just because it’s what most people would do.
I say I didn’t choose this life. Hell, it’s not like I got the choice anyway. But he says now I do. Now I do have the choice and I need to make it right. To follow what my heart really wants and stop thinking about what people would say about my choice.
But I can’t just choose to live my dreams without leaving my families behind. It’s not fair for anybody. So I decide to do the one thing that I should’ve done from the very first time I met him.
Leave....
