Chapter 52 Hurtful Words
- [AVA]
- Sitting in the dimly lit corner of the quaint cafe, I couldn’t help but stare blankly at the steaming cup of coffee in front of me, lost in my own thoughts. Despite Sean’s long chatter about his new project at work and his failed attempt to come out to his parents, my mind kept wandering back to Brian. It had been a week since that fateful day at the lake—when everything fell apart between us. The hurtful words he had thrown at me still stung, and the image of him walking away, leaving me alone, broken, was still vivid in my mind.
- When I finally mustered the courage to go back to the cabin, my heart sank at the sight of its emptiness. I had feared the worst, but then I noticed the cab waiting outside. Brian might have left me to sort things out on my own, but he also made sure I got back to the city safely. As I took a sip of the hot coffee, I couldn’t help but feel a twinge of warmth in my chest at the thought that he still cared, even after everything that had happened between us.
