The next morning, the storm had passed, leaving Whitby fresh and gleaming under the sunlight. Lily stood by the harbor, watching James load his camera equipment into the back of a car.

“I wish I didn’t have to leave,” he said, turning to her. His eyes were full of regret, but also hope.

“You’ll come back,” Lily said with quiet certainty.

James took her hands. “Lily, I meant everything I said last night. This isn’t the end for us. I don’t know how or when, but I’ll come back to Whitby—for you.”

She smiled, her heart heavy but full. “I’ll be waiting.”

As James drove away, Lily felt a bittersweet ache. But she also felt stronger than ever. The summer had brought love into her life, and even though James was leaving, she knew their story wasn’t over.

That evening, Lily returned to the lighthouse. Standing at the top, she watched the sun set over the sea, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink. She smiled, a sense of hope filling her. The horizon was endless, and so were the possibilities.

第二天早晨，风暴过去了，惠特比在阳光下焕然一新，闪闪发光。莉莉站在港口旁，看着詹姆斯把相机设备装进车后备箱。

“我真希望不用离开，”他转向她说道。他的眼中满是遗憾，但也充满了希望。

“你会回来的，”莉莉平静地说，语气中充满了确信。

詹姆斯握住她的手。“莉莉，我昨晚说的每句话都是真心的。这不是我们的终点。我不知道怎么做，也不知道什么时候，但我一定会回到惠特比——为了你。”

她微笑着，心中既沉重又充实。“我会等你的。”

当詹姆斯开车离开时，莉莉感到一阵苦乐参半的心痛。但她也比以往更加坚强。这个夏天让爱进入了她的生活，尽管詹姆斯离开了，她知道他们的故事并未结束。

那天晚上，莉莉回到了灯塔。站在顶层，她看着夕阳沉入大海，将天空染成橙色和粉色的色调。她微笑着，心中充满希望。地平线是无尽的，就像未来的无限可能一样。
