I Nearly Walked Away | Episode 2 - My Soulmate Named Adel Series

from ReFraming Life · host Kent Waugh

I pulled my hands away when she reached for me across that Starbucks table… Twenty-four hours after our first date ended, we were already together again — sitting across from each other at a Starbucks table, laughing, soaking in what felt like the most natural thing in the world. And then she reached across the table to hold my hands. I pulled away. In her eyes, I saw something I never wanted to put there — the quiet hurt of someone who thinks they are being turned away. What she didn't know yet was that I wasn't pulling away because I didn't want this. I was pulling away because I had never felt anything this big before in my life.In this episode, you'll hear about that second date, the speakerphone call with my parents, the moment that told Adel everything she needed to know about who I was, and the honest conversation that may have saved our entire story before it had barely begun. Subscribe on Spotify or Apple Podcasts so you never miss an episode.
