Larry is going to Montana, and Bethany is calling him, but her number is getting blocked, and he is on the flight.
Jaden Speaks Up
Jaden stood near the doorway, arms crossed, expression serious. He had been thinking all night. Now, he had to speak. π
“Dad,” Jaden said firmly, looking at Larry, “you shouldn’t take Bethany with you.”
Larry paused, adjusting his jacket. “Why would you say that?”
The Warning
Jaden sighed. “Every time she goes there, things turn into arguments. She won’t stay calm. She’ll fight, she’ll push people, and it’ll make everything worse.”
Larry looked away, conflicted. Montana wasn’t casual—it was already tense. One wrong move could turn it into a disaster.
“You know how she is,” Jaden continued. “Right now, you don’t need drama—you need peace.”
Alone at the Airport
Larry nodded slowly. “I hear you. I don’t want chaos waiting for me when I land.”
Hours later, he walked through the airport alone. Each echo of his footsteps reminded him of the weight of his decision. π§³✈️
Bethany wasn’t by his side—and that absence weighed heavily on his chest.
Bethany Realizes
Back home, Bethany was restless. Something felt off. She picked up her phone and dialed Larry’s number. π±
Ring… ring… No answer. She tried again. Then it hit her—her call wasn’t even ringing. Her number was blocked.
“What?!” she gasped in disbelief. π‘
Anger and Distance
She slammed her phone on the couch. “So this is how he’s doing me? Leaving without a word?”
Larry switched his phone to airplane mode, feeling heavy silence—hoping to avoid another argument.
Bethany clenched her fists. “When he lands, we’re going to talk. And this time, he won’t walk away from it.” π€
The plane ascended higher, carrying Larry farther away—not just from Bethany, but from the conflict he was trying to escape. Whether distance would heal things or break them, neither knew.
FINAL WORD
Distance can prevent immediate chaos, but it comes with its own consequences. Silence may protect—but it can also fuel anger and hurt.
Sometimes the hardest decisions leave both hearts heavy, even when intentions are meant to safeguard those we love.
