A week passed, and you finally came back. I looked at you, searching your face for answers, but I kept my thoughts to myself. I didn't tell you what my mom said—I didn't want to upset you, to place unnecessary burdens on your shoulders. Maybe if I pretended everything was fine, it would be.
But things had changed. You were busier than ever. The hours you spent away stretched longer, and there were nights when you didn't come home. "So much work," you'd say, your words rushed and distant. You told me you had to stay at the office more often, and I nodded, trying to convince myself it made sense.
Yet, in the quiet moments when I was alone, the whispers reached me—gossips from friends, strangers, the fragments of conversations I wasn't meant to hear. They spoke of you, of another girl, of things I didn't want to believe.
I tried to push it aside, to drown it out with the trust I've always had in you. But the doubt lingered, a shadow I couldn't ignore. Is it true? Could it be true? I asked myself again and again, the words echoing like a question I was too afraid to say out loud.
