It starts with goodbye . . .

Once, Lucy and Jamie were hopelessly in love.
Now, they’re breaking up.
Perhaps it’s for the best – they’re as different as night and day.
While Jamie’s a homebird, Lucy wants to spread her wings.

Yet once they both felt made for each other.

What happened?
Why is letting go so hard?
And is there any way back after goodbye?
