That evening, we sat on her porch with cups of tea warming our hands while I browsed flights with the refunded deposit money.
My future looked nothing like the one I had planned.
But for the first time in a long while, it belonged entirely to me.
The fall that broke my leg did not break my future.
It revealed the person who would have.
And if someone only shows kindness when people are watching, but treats you like a burden when you need them most, believe what their actions are telling you.
