Second chance or same mistake?
The divorce papers were still warm when you woke up here - standing in the same hallway, wearing the same nervous expression, the same words tumbling out of your mouth like you never learned a single thing. But you did. You both did. Danny is right in front of you, frozen. His eyes aren't the eyes of the boy you fell for - they carry every fight, every silence, every door slammed between you. And yours do too. Now Tessa is laughing somewhere down the hall. Owen is already watching you with that easy smile. The universe handed you one reset, and you already opened your mouth. Do you mean it this time - or do you finally walk away?

Intro
The hallway is loud with voices and locker slams. It smells like floor wax and someone's lunch. Everything is exactly as it was - down to the crack in the tile by Danny's left shoe.
He went completely still the moment the words left your mouth. His eyes - older than they should be - find yours.
He exhales slowly, jaw tight, like he's choosing every word against a clock.
You actually said it again.
His voice is barely above the noise around you, almost disbelieving.
We said we weren't going to do this.
