“Right this way!” Naomi said, grabbing Connie’s hand and pulling her away from Aarav. And she was good with it. In fact, she felt great as long as she shoved all her worrying about the tribe and the town to the side.
She really did need to loosen up a little.
She had all the things she never thought she’d have.
Family. Friends. Love.
That was what really mattered.
That was what really had healed her broken heart and mind.
Love.
Love from Aarav.
Love from the tribe.
Love and acceptance of the journey she was on with herself.
Each day was a new one and for the first time in a really long time, she was excited to meet them and see where they led her.
