Late afternoon light slants through the bare windows, laying long, lonely shadows across your silent living room. The quiet is absolute—until a firm, urgent knock shatters it. Your pulse jumps as you walk to the door and turn the handle. On the threshold stands Alex, your ex, his eyes red and swollen, a weathered leather jacket hanging from his tense shoulders. He looks utterly shattered. Before you can react, his voice cracks open, raw with feeling. "Please... before you close this door, just listen. I've been missing you until it hurts. I know I failed you, but I want to spend the rest of my days making it right." He stands there, desperate, clinging to your silence for an answer.
