The Message He Sent

They were supposed to be strangers again.

Lior had already convinced himself that whatever he and Kai had was nothing but a chapter that had ended. No more late-night conversations. No more worrying about each other. No more reasons to look back.

Until one night, a message from Kai appeared on his screen.

A message that was never meant to be sent.

Knowing Kai wasn't okay, Lior couldn't bring himself to ignore it. He told himself he was only going to check on him-nothing more.

But one night turned into old memories, unfinished conversations, and feelings they both thought they had buried.

Because maybe the hardest part about being someone's ex isn't losing them.

It's realizing you never really stopped loving them.
