Chapter 906 Yoga Studio

It was barely five in the morning when Jade roused from her restless sleep the next day. She woke up with a heavy heart and a deep feeling of emptiness. She missed Harry. She missed him very much and she missed waking up next to him.

Although she was thankful for the support she was receiving from her family and friends, they weren't the ones she wanted. It wasn't their support she desperately needed. It was Harry's, and it hurt that the one person she needed most wasn't willing to be there for her.

As much as she regretted her action and she understood his reaction, she couldn't help feeling disappointed.

This wasn't what Harry had promised her. He was her man and he was meant to be with her. He was supposed to help her with this not abandon her this way.

Wasn't that what love was supposed to be about? She knew for a fact that if the situation was reversed she would never have left Harry to deal with his mess alone.

Well, she couldn't always expect others to treat her as she would treat them, she was fast learning this, and if anything, it made her determined to focus on herself. Going forward she was going to put herself first. Not Harry or anyone else. She was going to find a way to heal and grow, even if it meant doing it alone. Jade thought as pushed herself out of bed.

A glance at her phone showed no new messages from Harry, just as she had expected. Resolutely, she set the phone aside, deciding that today would be about her. No distractions, no interruptions.

After a quick shower, Jade dressed in a fitted, plain white t-shirt, and a high-waisted jeans trouser. She pulled her short hair back into a ponytail and didn't bother with any makeup.

Hungry, she headed downstairs with her purse. The house was quiet, since the others were still asleep, and she was grateful for it. The last thing she wanted was for them to fuss over her.

She met Samantha in the kitchen, preparing the dough for whatever it was she was making for breakfast, and Samantha smiled when she saw her, "Good morning, Jade. You're up early."

"Good morning, Samantha. Can I get something to eat?" She asked politely, and Samantha nodded.

"Sure. You can wait at the dining while I quickly fix you something," Samantha said, sensing that Jade wasn't interested in making conversation.

Jade gave her a nod before going to sit at the dining. Samantha followed shortly with a tray containing a mug of freshly brewed coffee, sugar, and a jar of cream. "You can drink this while you wait."

"Thank you," Jade said as she proceeded to mix the coffee to her taste.

As she sipped from the coffee, she thought about her resumption at the office the next day, and also about her accommodation issue.

Now that she was going to be prioritizing herself, she decided that she was going to get her own place and move out of Tom's place.

It didn't matter whether Tom and Bryan had rooms for her at their place. She would visit them and sleep over when she wanted to, but she wanted her own place where she could live.

And even after her issue with Harry was resolved, she was going to retain her place and only visit him when necessary. She was not going to allow anyone have a say in her life anymore.

Before she moved to Ludus she had been handling her affairs herself, and she was going to resume doing just that.

She made a mental note to reach out to Aurora later in the day to ask how she moved her stuff down to Ludus, so she could also move hers since she had delayed for long enough.

Samantha returned with a tray of French toasts, pancakes, and scrambled eggs for her, and after thanking Samantha, she went on to eat.

As she ate, she took her phone out of her purse and unlocked it. She downloaded the Craig Realty App where she could find available accommodation for rent.

She scrolled through the app, looking at their various apartments and the rate for the houses.

As the class came to an end, Sharon led them through a final relaxation pose, encouraging everyone to let go of any lingering tension. Jade felt a sense of release, the stress of the past two days melting away.

After class, Sharon approached Jade with a friendly smile after signing off the others' cards. "You did great today. It was your first time here, right?" She asked as she took the card from Jade and signed on it.

"Yes, it was," Jade replied, feeling more relaxed than she had when she woke up. "Thank you for the wonderful class."

"I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm Sharon by the way. Sharon Jacobs. I'm the founder here."

"Oh, you are?" Jade asked, pleasantly surprised.

Sharon smiled, "I particularly love to take the beginner class. I enjoy getting o know my new clients and helping them get grounded."

"Well, that sounds nice. I'm Jade. Jade Hank," she said, shaking hands with Sharon.

"If you have time, I'd love to grab a coffee and chat," Sharon offered.

Jade hesitated for a moment, "You grab coffee with all your new clients?" Jade asked and Sharon laughed.

"No. Only the ones that interest me. When you walked in, my brain was like, I'd like her to be my pal," Sharon said and Jade smiled.

"So, can I buy you coffee?" She asked and Jade nodded.

"Sure. I don't see why not," Jade said, since she was open to having new friend and she wasn't in a hurry to be anywhere.

After dropping off her card at the reception, they walked to a nearby café, where the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and baked goods greeted them.

Settling into a cozy corner table, they ordered their drinks and began to talk, "So, what brought you to yoga?" Sharon asked, genuinely curious.

Jade took a sip of her latte, "I thought it would be a nice pastime activity. And I read yoga might help me clear my mind."

Sharon nodded, her expression understanding. "Yoga has a way of doing that. It's not just about the physical exercise but also about finding inner peace."

Jade smiled. "Exactly. I've been feeling really lost lately, and this class was the first time in a while that I felt somewhat grounded."

"Life can be overwhelming," Sharon agreed. "I started practicing yoga after I lost my mom eight years ago. It helped me find balance and strength when I needed it the most."

As they continued to talk, sharing more about their lives, Jade found Sharon's openness refreshing and comforting.

Jade felt lighter after their conversation, and she felt a sense of clarity she hadn't felt in days.

"Thank you for this, Sharon. I really needed it," Jade said as they stood to leave, grateful for the unexpected friendship.

"Anytime, Jade. And remember, you're always welcome at the studio. Yoga is a journey, not just a class," Sharon replied with a warm smile.

Jade nodded, feeling a renewed sense of determination. She promised herself that she would continue to work on herself, to find her own strength and happiness.

Instead of heading back home, Jade took a cab and headed for the cinema. She planned to spend the day doing fun things and enjoying her own company.
