Lani knew that she couldn't keep going like this. The days blurred together—hours spent obsessing over the number of calories, over how much she ate, how little. She couldn't break free from the grip it had on her, but having John B. beside her gave her hope. He didn't pressure her. He didn't push her to talk when she wasn't ready. But he made it clear every single day that she wasn't alone.
Over the next few weeks, John B. was her rock. He would sit with her during meals, encouraging her to eat without making her feel pressured. Sometimes, it was just him sitting quietly, offering her a comforting presence when the thoughts started to take over. Other times, he would coax her into taking small steps—sharing a snack with her, taking a walk together, focusing on the moments they shared rather than the battles inside her head.
One evening, after they'd spent a quiet afternoon on the beach, John B. turned to Lani, his eyes soft. "You don't have to have it all figured out," he said. "Just take it one step at a time. I'm right here, Lani. We're in this together."
Lani nodded, her chest tight but lighter than it had been in weeks. She had a long way to go, and it wouldn't be easy, but with John B. by her side, she knew she didn't have to face it alone.
