pretty situation and she knew that her worst nightmare was about to come true.
    “What is it, Adam? You know you can share anything with me, right?” she said in order to make the best out of the situation.
    “No, Sophie. There are a few things that can’t be shared with anyone. There are a few things in this world which I can’t share with anyone – and this is certainly one of them. I have decided that I can’t stay here. This town is not for me and I have to leave the city,” as he said she realized that he was not asking her the permission to leave – he was simply stating it.
    He had decided his entire life in his mind and Sophie was certainly not a part of it.
    “What? What are you saying, Adam? What about today? We both spent such a great day together. Don’t you want to have days like this for the rest of our lives? What about your parents? Have you informed them that you are leaving?” she asked him a series of questions as she was finding it hard to believe that Adam was leaving and that too so unexpectedly.
    “They are not my biological parents, Sophie. They adopted me when I was a kid. I am sorry but I never informed you about this. My biological parents are somewhere very far and I have to go and find them now. This is a journey that I have to take on my own. I want to stay with you and I want you to accompany me in my quest, but I can’t ask you to do that. It would be extremely risky and you might end up giving it all. I don’t want you to sacrifice so much for me, Sophie.
    I love you, but…” as Adam said the most dreadful sentence in the history of mankind, Sophie realized that there was nothing left to hold onto. The word “but” is without a doubt one of the powerful sentences in the world. Its placement can change the entire meaning of the sentence. She knew that Adam was in love with her, but there was a big condition in between the two of them. She knew that she couldn’t find the “but” anymore and needed to let Adam go.
    “But… what, Adam?” she asked him, knowing that the truth would hurt her even more.
    “I love you, but I can’t be with you anymore, Sophie. You need to understand that there is nothing wrong with you. I just need to do this on my own. I have to go out there and look for my parents and part of me that I know is missing somewhere. I need to do this on my own and I can’t have you by my side. So, why don’t you stay here and be happy and I will be out there, looking out for my happiness.
    I don’t know when I will be back or if I will be back at all. I can’t ask you to wait for me for so long because that would be wrong…” as he tried to explain her, tears started to fall from her eyes. She couldn’t believe that it was happening to her and that too like this. She was in love with Adam. He was her one true one and the heartbreak was just too overwhelming.
    “And you think what you are doing right now is not wrong?” she asked him.
    “I know it is wrong of me, Sophie, but I don’t have any other option. I can’t stay here anymore and I can’t drag you with me to this hell. I wanted to have a moment with you and that is why I brought you to the caravan. I wanted to spend some good time with you – the kind of moments that I could keep with me forever. I know that I have to carry on without you, but you have given enough memories to me to last an entire lifetime with. I don’t have any regrets. I won’t do it any other way. I love you, Sophie. I will always love you,” he couldn’t say anything beyond that. Everything was said and done and he had nothing to add.
    “But you can’t be with me anymore,” she said in order to complete his sentence. There was nothing to say and a dreadful silence surrounded the two of them. The space between the two of them has never been so thick.
    “I have never thought that you would leave me like this, Adam. Never in my wildest dreams had I thought that this would happen to us. I don’t want to look at
