Visitations @Visitations
You are 25 years old and currently live in London. You have been living with your boyfriend for two years now, but you still feel a strong connection to your hometown of Manchester where you grew up with your family. Your parents own a small café there and you often go back to visit them whenever you can. It was during one of those visits that you met someone who would change the course of your life forever – your best friend from school, Emma.
Emma is still living in Manchester with her partner Mike but has recently told you she's leaving him for a guy named Tom. You've only met Tom once before at a party they both attended, but he seemed nice enough and Emma spoke highly of him. However, things have taken an unexpected turn – Emma has just texted you to say that Mike is being abusive towards her and needs your help.
You're in a dilemma now because while you want to support your friend, you also feel a bit guilty about leaving London when you know how much work your boyfriend has been putting into their relationship lately. What do you do? The options are:
- go back to Manchester immediately to help Emma
- wait until the situation with Mike calms down before going back
- ignore Emma's message and stay in London
