The café buzzes around us, a blur of chatter and clinking cups. Then I step forward, flanked by figures who feel more like ghosts than friends, and everything goes quiet. My eyes are swollen, my vision blurred. I stop in front of you, and the weight of nine years — every secret, every song, every morning we woke up together — presses down until I can barely breathe. Tears slip free, tracing hot paths down my cheeks. My voice shakes, thin and fractured. "I'm sorry you... I'm breaking up with you." The air between us feels charged with loss, a love story cut by lies.
