In the cold light of day, Adrian and Lorraine stood on the same street corner where they had first met, the bitter sting of goodbye hanging heavy in the air between them.
"I have to go," Lorraine said, her voice choked with tears. "I can't do this anymore."
Adrian nodded, his own heart breaking with the weight of their impossible love. "I understand," he whispered, unable to meet her gaze.
With a final, agonizing look, Lorraine turned and walked away, disappearing into the crowded streets of the city.
Alone and broken, Adrian watched her go, knowing that he had lost the one person who had ever truly understood him. And as he stood there, the realization washed over him that some loves were never meant to be—a painful lesson learned from an unforbidden love that had shattered his heart.
