After that conversation, James and Sophie decided to take a break. They stopped calling each other every day, and their messages became fewer and farther between.
James threw himself into his writing, using it as an escape from the pain. He wrote stories about love, loss, and longing, each one a reflection of his feelings for Sophie.
Sophie, too, buried herself in her studies. She worked tirelessly, determined to become the best doctor she could be. But no matter how busy she was, she couldn't stop thinking about James.
