"Amber, everything okay?" Al came to visit me. The kids are having fun with Djino, I was supposed to put on some music, but instead I was staring into nothing. I look at her: "He texted me again." I don't have to say more. With 'he' I mean my ex. It was a very hard breakup. He sent me death threats and knives. Yeah, he is psycho. And now, he found my number and started texting me, same words, same pain.

She hugs me: "you blocked him?"
"Yeah I did. But too late. He broke my self confidence." She looks at me: "Girl, you are beautiful, smart and you deserve better. Come on. Let's play with the kids."

I smile, of course I have to let him go. He doesn't deserve my pain. Jonas, a little boy from 7 years old and my favourite, saw me crying. "Everything okay? I don't want to see you sad!" He gave me a big hug. Hmm, I love kids.

The next day

"Finally, a day off!" Work is exhausting. I am in that big swing again, with some friends. I missed this. We sit there, laugh, talk and dare each other to kiss the hottest boy. They leave and I stay alone.

I lay down and look up to the sky. My music is on shuffle. But as soon as Runner comes on, I skip it. I close my eyes and listen carefully to the lyrics of On My Way. I take a deep breath and close my eyes. After a minute or 5, I feel someone looking at me. I open my eyes and hear someone saying:" Damn, she looks beautiful."

I recognize that voice. It has this special touch nobody else has, that can make me cry or laugh. And then I see him: "Hi there! Are you a Limelight?", he says with the most beautiful smile I've ever seen.

This can't be happening. It is... !
