Like a dawn

We’re rarely aware of the exact moment when we make that decision that changes everything. We follow our feelings in the heat of the moment, and only later, as we see the outcomes of our actions, do we reflect on how different our lives might have been if we’d chosen another path.

But Leah was aware that night. The very moment she told Kal to leave, she knew her life had just taken a decisive turn. What neither of them imagined then was that, almost ten years later, fate would bring them back for another test.

No matter how many times I think about it, their meeting is, and always will be, my favourite accident. Because when love is true, it always finds a way to put the right people on the same path. And although Leah would have sworn her heart didn’t belong to Kal, this story is the clearest proof that some hearts are capable of loving more than one person.

Let me tell you how I learned that some people, as Leah’s favourite song goes, are truly Born to Be Wild.
