Inspired by "Wild Horses" by Natasha Bedingfield.
She leaned her head against the cold glass letting the fog from her breath cloud the glass and her judgment. Watching the people down on the street, running and bustling about, she thought of everybody she loved.
Coming to New York was one of the greatest experiences that she could ever live. Being free from Montana was what she needed to change her life for the better. Receiving the call and getting a chance of a lifetime to work in New York; she couldn't pass that up.
What she didn't expect was to fall in love. She fell for Danny, hook, line, and sinker. The boyish, New York charm was the winning lottery ticket to her heart and she had to cash in. She fell for him hard.
Four months ago, he asked her to move in with him and she couldn't refuse. She should have said no, but she just couldn't. As much as she loved Danny, she felt like walls were closing in on her, ready to crush her very existence. People who are in love don't feel like this.
The wild horses and Montana were calling her name. And as much as she wanted to be with him; home is she knew she belonged.
Gathering the things she needed the most, she left a note and left the apartment, leaving the New York that she could never forget behind.
Danny got home from a long 12 hour shift. Hoping that Lindsay was in the bedroom; he wanted to surprise her.
That's when he found it all.
Her badge, the necklace that he gave her and the tear-stained letter told it all.
