"The Love That Was Never Meant to Be"
The night was cold, the kind that settled deep in the bones and refused to leave. Inara stood at the edge of the train station, her hands clenched into fists, her heartbeat loud enough to drown out the world. The clock ticked forward, each second pulling her further into an abyss she couldn't escape.
She had told herself she wouldn't cry. She had promised herself that if this night ended in silence, she would walk away without looking back. But as the minutes stretched into hours, the weight of reality pressed against her chest.
He wasn't coming.
She should have known.
Somewhere far away, the city moved on, oblivious to the quiet destruction unraveling within her. The flickering streetlights, the distant hum of passing cars, the muffled conversations of strangers-everything remained untouched. As if nothing had changed.
As if a promise hadn't just been broken.
As if a love that was never meant to be hadn't just been buried beneath the weight of betrayal.
Inara inhaled sharply, forcing herself to move. One step. Then another. The world blurred around her, but she didn't falter. If he had chosen silence, she would answer with the same.
She never looked back.
Maybe that was her first mistake.
Because if she had, she would have seen him.
Standing in the shadows. Blood on his hands. Eyes screaming words his lips would never speak.
But love had never been enough.
Not for them.
Give it a chanceeee <3
