Finish the Story Challenge! - A Dream

She closed the door gently, but couldn't lift her hand from the knob. She leaned against the wall, frozen, with the confused expression of someone who forgot why they walked into a room. She pushed the door back in slowly, careful not to make any noise, held it there for a few seconds, and closed it again. No! she thought. Go, please go! Her legs started moving awkwardly, like they had forgotten how to walk. She pressed the button for the lift, but couldn't get in when the doors opened, and stood there motionless until the doors closed again. A note! Maybe I should go back and write a note! She started walking back quickly, so that reason wouldn't catch up with her.

After so much thinking Sofia decided to return to talk with Alberto, she had to tell him about her plans, although the fear of losing him paralyzed her, he was the love of her life. She had met him in a coffee shop and since she saw him she knew it was love at first sight, he was a very handsome man, with black hair and eyes, but what she liked the most about him was his beautiful smile.

Sofia had made the decision to leave the city to fulfill her dream of being a dancer, she loved ballet and as a child she had strived to be the best of her group in the academy. Thanks to her work and perseverance she had obtained a scholarship in an important academy and could not miss this long-awaited opportunity, even if that meant having to be separated from her beloved Alberto.

That morning she had to tell Alberto that she was leaving, her heart was broken. She did not know what to say, but she had to go in search of her dream.

Alberto was a lawyer whose offices were in the city and had a portfolio of important clients that he had managed to get, Sofia knew that he was not going to move out of town, besides he had a nice apartment that he had recently bought.

Sofia took courage and carefully opened the door of the apartment, there was Alberto on the couch reading a book, sat down next to him and with tears in her eyes told him that she was going after her dream of being a dancer in a recognized company, looked at him in the eyes and waited for his answer. He held her gaze and with a deliberate voice said, "Your dreams are my dreams. Sofia, my work... I can do it in any city, I'm going with you". They kissed and hugged tightly.
