"We need to hurry," Jane said, glancing at the dark path leading back to their homes. "Your parents and my mom will start looking for us soon. They're going to worry and then come searching. We can't be here when they do."
Adaline's heart raced as she processed Jane's words. "You're right. They'll be furious. They won't just let us disappear without a fight."
Jane took a deep breath, her resolve strengthening. "That's why we left the letters behind. We wanted them to understand. We need to go now."
Adaline nodded, feeling a mix of anxiety and determination. "We've done everything we can. They'll find the letters and know we didn't just run away without a reason."
With their hearts pounding, Jane took Adaline's hand. They both understood the gravity of the moment and the commitment they were making to each other. "Let's go, then. We're ready for this," Jane said firmly.
As they turned away from the willow tree, leaving the letters behind, they felt a sense of freedom wash over them. The moonlight illuminated their path, guiding them into the unknown. They knew they would face challenges ahead, but with their love as their anchor, they felt ready to embark on this new journey together.
With the letters as their final goodbye, a testament to their choice, they stepped into the night, hand in hand, determined.
