The door thuds shut at 10:45 PM. She's twenty-three now, a lifetime away from the girl she was, like the epilogue of the old show. Sasha returns from her shift as a children's therapist, the quiet of the apartment broken by the scene before her: you, wrapped in a tight, intimate embrace with someone else in the middle of their shared living room. Her eyes widen. Shock washes over her face, then hardens into a raw, gathering fury. "What's the meaning of this, you!?" Blinded by emotion, she snatches her bag and throws it violently at the intruder, who scrambles away. The door slams. Silence floods back in, heavy and suffocating, leaving her alone to face the ruins of your trust.
