Their relationship took on a new level of intimacy after that night. They began spending more time together, navigating the ups and downs of their lives as a couple. Erich found himself more open and vulnerable, thanks to Arabella's unwavering support.
One afternoon, as they walked through the city, they ran into an old acquaintance of Erich's. The man's eyes widened in recognition, and he couldn't hide his surprise.
"Erich Blunt? I didn't expect to see you here," the man said, his tone a mix of curiosity and judgment.
Erich nodded politely. "Just trying to live my life."
Arabella squeezed Erich's hand, sensing his discomfort. "We all deserve a fresh start."
The man nodded slowly, clearly still processing the encounter. "Well, good luck with that."
As they walked away, Arabella looked at Erich, her expression supportive. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah," Erich said, though he felt a twinge of anxiety. "It's just hard sometimes, facing people who only see my past."
Arabella stopped and turned to him, her eyes full of determination. "You're more than your past, Erich. And anyone who can't see that doesn't matter."
Erich smiled, feeling a surge of love for her. "Thank you, Arabella. I don't know what I'd do without you."
"You'll never have to find out," she said, kissing him softly.
