Chapter: GREATER WORLDHer days were filled with joy as she kept living in that year. She didn’t want to admit it, and yet she knew she was starting to fall in love with him. She goes to every game he has, cheers for him, enjoys the people cheering and constantly gives him a kiss with every win. The only thing she didn’t like about all of it was the fact that they would have to hide. That generation was not a huge fan of interracial relationships. And she would never do anything that could possibly hurt or compromise him. So, no matter how challenging it was, she needed to keep hiding, for him. “Well, that was a great game, wasn’t it?” she beamed against him as they sat still in the open field. He was staring at the moon, getting nostalgic of the win that they just had. She looked at him with adoring eyes, his skin looking good against the light of the moon in the sky. The feelings he brought her were one of a kind. One’s that she’d never wish of having. “It was… It just felt good.” He turned to her

The familiar sights and sounds of her home country surrounded her, triggering memories of the life she left behind two years ago.

The air was filled with a medley of languages, the hustle of travelers, and the distinct aroma of Filipino delicacies.

Austin's face haunted her."It was alright.""You didn't enjoy it?" her therapist leaned back, trying to give her enough space to breath."I didn't. I talked to a skeleton in my closet that I've been avoiding for too long."The therapist raised an eyebrow, sensing the gravity of the situation. "A skeleton in your closet? Can you tell me more about it?"She took a deep breath, her gaze still fixed on the sunlit landscape outside. "Austin, the man I love. We had a conversation, and it wasn't easy.
