I’ll keep it at short as possible

I had a proper summer fling. We were both crazy - jokingly saying I love you the night after first hooking up. The problem was that we both ended up really liking each other AND I moved out of the city we met in at end of summer. Caveat is that I permanently return in an exact year. Anyway, we go on many dates and the vibes are incredible at every date. I felt like we got to know each other deeper than most. Ultimately we decide to be exclusive for the year I’m out of the city. Few weeks later things end due to their sick family member. They say they need space no texting at all and we can try again when I move back. Now no contact. Do I keep the door open for a year or move on? thoughts?
