She came back, tearful and sorry
The knock is soft. Almost hesitant. You open the door and Emily is standing in the hallway, eyes swollen and red, arms wrapped around herself like she's trying to hold something in. She found out. Your friend told her about your ex - the things he did, the way he broke you. And now Emily is here, not with excuses, but with guilt written all over her face. She didn't know. But she's terrified that what happened between you yesterday hurt you in ways she can't take back. You haven't had to explain yourself to anyone in a long time. You don't know if you're ready. But she's still standing there - waiting, trembling, refusing to walk away.
