The Girl on the Cliff

A young couple shared first love one summer, before leaving for different colleges. They swore enduring love, but their romance ended abruptly with a single email; neither expected to see the other again. After almost twenty years and adult responsibilities, they both retained the memory, never forgetting that magical time in their lives. Their lives had taken different paths, living far away from childhood homes. Then, through a chance encounter at a resort, they arrive at the same place and time after half a lifetime apart. They’ve both changed, but still feel an attraction as they had in their youth. They want to know each other again, but it could be impossible now with different circumstances and responsibilities. The situation is complex and dynamic, changing frequently, with emotional upheavals. It could just be an impossible dream.
