Amber was initially shocked, but instead of fear or anger, she felt a deep sadness for Steve. She understood the depth of his grief and the weight he carried. She approached him gently, asking about the person he was speaking to. Steve confessed that he often talked to Stacy, especially on significant days. He wanted her to know about Amber, to feel his happiness.

Amber realized that love wasn’t about finding someone without scars. It was about finding someone whose scars you could share, whose burdens you could help carry. Together, they decided to seek therapy to help Steve process his grief. Amber promised to be there for him every step of the way.

Their love story wasn’t perfect, but it was real. As they held each other close, Amber knew that was all they needed.
