She never imagined seeing him again-not after everything that had shattered between them. But fate had its own timing. There he stood, framed in the doorway, no greeting, no hesitation. His voice was sharp and steady-low, yet piercing-carrying a weight she couldn't ignore.
"If you truly love someone, you owe them the truth. You can't keep them in the dark. Not forever."
His words struck like thunder, crashing harder than she expected and slicing through her calm façade, stirring the storm inside. His voice bore restraint, yet beneath it lay every emotion and feeling they'd never dared speak aloud. Others tried to intervene, but his eyes never left hers. The air thickened with tension. She stood frozen, every word tangled in her throat.
Finally, fragile but firm, her voice broke the silence: "I... I need some time."
He exhaled slowly. "Fine." Stepping back toward the exit, he paused, then looked over his shoulder. His eyes held something deep, unreadable, unspoken.
"Just so you know... I have no problem with you staying there." With that, he left-leaving behind a silence that was anything but peaceful. It was the sound of an unfinished story-and the beginning of something neither of them could control.
