Amy lived in New York and Mort, Los Angeles.
Amy had been single for a while. Her previous relationship had left her broken, disassociate and uninterested . But now, it was different.
The hussling and chaotic nature of New York city had her thinking "what if I had someone to talk to after a busy day?, what if I had this someone?".
On her way to and from work, Amy would often see couple hold hands, share blissful laughs and gently stroke the hairs of their lovers.
Now, something had shifted, she wanted all that, she need that.
Amy met Mort online and their connection was instant. They talked for hours, sharing stories and dreams. Amy loved Mort's sense of humor and Mort adored Amy's kindness. As time passed,their feelings grew stronger.
But they faced a big challenge, distance.
Amy and Mort lived in different cities, over 2,500miles apart.
Amy felt lonely in her bug city and Mort felt same in his. They both wondered if their love was strong enough to overcome the distance.
One day, Amy had an idea. She suggested they plan a visit to see each other.
Mort was thrilled. He counted down the days until Amy's arrived in LA. Mort was nervous but excited.
They spent their days exploring the city, holding hands and talking, just like Amy had seen others do. The distance melted away and they felt like they were meant to be together.
But reality hit hard when Amy had to leave.
Mort driver her to the airport and they shared a tearful goodbye.
They promised to make it work. They planned to visit each other often and to stay committed.
The months that followed were tough. They had to navigate different time zones, busy schedules and a longing to be together. They held onto their love.
It was the only thing that kept them going .
Amy started looking for job opportunities in LA, and Mort encouraged her to take the leap.
Months passed by and Amy had still not landed any favorable job offer.
She was shattered. It felt like all the odds were against her. She had a beautiful love life now but it was enough.
Amy wanted to wake up next to Mort and breath "breath through his skin" every morning. Amy was unhappy.
It was a sunny Saturday afternoon when her door bell rang. That's strange, she thought to herself.
Her friends were out of town for a wedding she couldn't go to. Amy was not well enough to travel.
She wondered who it was still with no one in mind .
Covered in a heavy blanket, she took few steps, opened the door and to her surprise, Mort stood still, right infront of her. She froze!.
Are you not happy to see meme? Am I in the wrong apartment?
Nn... she struggled to find the write word.
Mort reached out his hand, grabbed her and put her in his tight bosom.
Oh my God, it's real!, she murmured.
Amy was overjoyed and Mort, excited.
They hugged each other tightly, feeling grateful to be together at last. They made dinner together, ate and cleared the area sharing the most intimate moments of their lives.
Amy held morts hands, looked him in the eye and said, "I wish I could have this this moment for a while"
For a while?! Mort exclaimed. Sweetheart, you have this for life, I'm not going anywhere!. I am all yours.
Amy stared in confusion, trying to process what Mort had just said. I'm moving in baby. I'm taking one for the team. I got a job in New York.
This was the best news Amy had heard in a while .
She was so happy.
By the way, let me know when the delivery company calls. I gave out your details to them.
I'm expecting my boxes, Mort said as he winked at Amy.
Now, Amy knew he wasn't joking.
Weeks turned into months and their excitement was still new.
They started building a life, exploring the city and creating memories.
They learned to appreciate each other's quirks, flaws and strength.
As they sat on the beach watching the sunset,
Mort turned to Amy, I'm so glad we made this work. Amy smiled, her eyes shining with tears, "me too".
She wishpered ,I love you. Mort smiled back, his heart full of love, I love you too. He said.
Amy and Mort's love grew stronger with each passing day, a flame that burned bright and true.
Years went by and Amy and Mort built a life together. They traveled, bought a home and started a family.
They looked back on their journey ,remembering the distance, the struggles and the triumphs.
They knew their love was special, a bond that could overcome obstacle.
