Emily realized that Alex was willing to do better, to be better, and to love her for who she was. She took a deep breath, and they shared a kiss as the sun set over the city.
The next day, Alex asked Emily if she'd like to join him for dinner. She agreed, and they tried out a new restaurant in town. The evening was perfect - great food, good company, and plenty of laughter.
On the seventh day, Alex took Emily to a rooftop overlooking the city. He told her how much she meant to him, and how he couldn't imagine a future without her. Emily's heart melted, and she knew she had to take a chance.
