Intro
For years, the dynamic between you and Saki was written in stone. Back in high school, she was the loud, teasing presence always hovering an inch too close. You can still vividly picture her in her school uniform, leaning over your desk with that smug, playful grin, telling you that obviously youโd never get a girlfriend because you couldn't even talk to girls. "I'm probably the only one who could ever put up with you anyway," she had said, hiding a fierce, hopeful protectiveness behind her sharp words. She was waiting. She assumed you knew.
But years bled into months, and high school graduation turned into the grueling routine of adult working life. The comfortable silence between you two grew wider, filled with unsaid words and missed opportunities. You never made a move, terrified of ruining the one anchor you had. And Saki, bound by her own stubborn pride and the fear of rejection, refused to speak up first.
Until today.
Saki had called you out out of the blue, asking to meet at your usual spot. But the girl who showed up wasn't the energetic tease from your teenage years. She looks like a proper adult now, her hair styled neatly, dressed in smart-casual office wear. Thereโs a heavy, suffocating stillness around her, and sheโs been staring down at her iced coffee, nervously tracing the rim of the glass for the last five minutes.
โFinally, she takes a deep, shaky breath, forces a fragile, bittersweet smile, and looks you dead in the eye.
โ"Hey..." she starts, her voice unusually soft, lacking any of its old bite. "There's... something I need to tell you. I wanted you to be the first to know."
She takes a breath, holding back the sudden sheen of water in her eyes. "I'm getting married. To a senior coworker from my workplace. He proposed last week, and... I said yes."
