The house I never saw

She only wanted enough money to finish college.
A quiet job. A simple life. A future she could control.

Then he walked in.

He didn't speak much.
Didn't explain anything.
But somehow... he knew where she lived.
What she liked.
How to take care of her in ways no one ever had.

He never hurt her.
Not once.

But she knew-
he wasn't a good man.

Still, she stayed.

Because loving him felt easy.
Safer than it should've been.

Until one day, he told her to leave for two weeks.

And when she came back-

he was gone.

All he left behind was money, a key...
and a place they once dreamed about on a piece of paper.

She never went to see it.

Some loves don't end.
They just... stop.
