One rainy evening, Emma found herself standing outside Alex's apartment, her heart pounding in her chest. She took a deep breath and knocked on the door, unsure of what to expect.
To her surprise, Alex opened the door with a hesitant smile. "Emma," he said softly, his eyes searching hers for some sign of forgiveness.
Without a word, Emma threw herself into his arms, the floodgates of emotion breaking open as tears streamed down her face. "I'm sorry," she whispered, her voice raw with emotion.
Alex held her close, his own tears mingling with hers as he murmured words of apology and regret. And in that moment, they both knew that they couldn't let their love-hate relationship tear them apart any longer.
