“I understand enough.”
She cut him off.
Sharp.
Final.
The phone buzzed again.
Another message.
Neither of them moved for a second.
Then—
She looked.
And this time…
She opened the chat.
Fully.
No fear.
No hesitation.
Just truth.
Message after message flooded the screen.
Plans.
Memories.
Jokes.
Moments.
Intimate.
Careless.
Real.
And then—
A photo.
Her fingers froze above it.
Her heart begged her not to.
