My heart is so broken that it hurts to breathe. I said, tears filling my eyes. "I know that I did the right thing for myself, but I didn't know that the aftermath of the situation would be this hard.""I can appreciate what you are going through, and am so very sorry that you are going through it." Preston said, gently, giving the upper part of my back a gentle rub. "I am always here for you if you need, to talk, cry, vent, etc.""I appreciate that, Preston, and right back at you."After all of us had returned from dinner, Preston had asked me if I wanted to take a walk on the beach with him, just the two of us. Instantly, I had said yes. After all, time with Preston sounded good. As we walked on the beach, I was able to calmly express and release how I was feeling. Truth be told, walking on the beach with Preston and him being there for me was helping a lot.
