"I do not know what to say," she conceded, her voice scarcely above a whisper. "I want to accept you, Haven I truly do. But it's been so difficult, with everything that's happened. I've been hurt, and I've felt so alone." Haven gestured, his eyes sparkling with unshed tears. "I know, and I'm so sorry for that. I never needed to make you feel that way. I wish I could go back and settle all the mistakes I've made, but I can't. All I can do is guarantee you that I need to do way better. I need to be better, for you and for us." Alexis took a profound breath, her mind still reeling. She looked into Haven's eyes, looking for any sign of deception, but all she saw was the man she had fallen in love with all those a long time prior. The man who, in spite of all his blemishes and botches, still held a bit of her heart. She held his hand, her hold firm and relentless. "I need us to be happy as well, Haven," she said, her voice filled with assurance. "I need to believe that I am able to make

Alexis tried to make sense of Haven’s actions. “Why is he doing this?” she wondered aloud, clutching the bouquet tightly. She had explicitly communicated her emotional struggle and her growing attraction to Matthew. Haven had heard her and yet chose to respond with intensified displays of affection.Every gesture, while heartfelt, seemed to deepen her confusion rather than provide clarity. Haven’s persistence felt like a painful reminder of the gap between their current reality and her emotional needs. She respected Haven but couldn’t ignore her feelings for Matthew, which had evolved into something she wanted to explore.The gifts and dates felt like a distraction from the fundamental issue at hand—her struggle with her feelings and the truth she had shared with Haven. Alexis was left questioning whether Haven's actions were an attempt to patch things up or if he was simply unable to accept the painful reality that she had developed feelings for someone else.Alexis paced the little l

Matthew stood up, his expression still clouded with perplexity. “I gotta go. I have some things to sort out, and I’m sure you are doing as well. We will talk more afterward, okay?” “Okay,” Alexis said, her voice scarcely capable of being heard. “Thank you for coming. I truly needed to talk to you.” Matthew gestured, giving her a reassuring smile before heading for the door. “We’ll get through this. We just ought to give it a few time.” As he left, Alexis observed him go, feeling a profound sense of misfortune and perplexity. The conversation had not given the clarity she had trusted for, and now she was cleared out with more questions than answers. Long haul appeared dubious, and the path ahead was covered in equivocalness. Alone in the calm room, Alexis felt the weight of the choices she had to form. Her heart was torn between the adore she felt for Matthew and the obligation she felt toward Haven . The air with Matthew had left them both more confused than ever, and Alexis knew th

The park was lively with the tender murmur of early summer. Children’s chuckling blended with the stirring of leaves within the light breeze, and some place within the distance, the ice cream truck played its recognizable jingle. The sun plunged low in the sky, portraying the skyline with streaks of pink and orange, casting a warm gleam over the lines of sprouting blooms. Matthew and Alexis strolled side by side, the sound of their strides mixing with the rock way underneath them. They had walked this way endless times before, but this evening, there was something different within the air, something inferred. Matthew looked at Alexis, noticing the way her hair caught the blurring daylight, turning the strands into a cascade of gold. Her eyes were settled ahead, but her contemplations were clearly somewhere else, some place far off and overwhelming. They had been talking about nothing and everything for the past hour, their airion floating from work inconveniences to irregular recoll

“Lexi,” he had started, his voice measured. “I know things haven’t been the same with us for a while. And I think... I think I get why.” Alexis had scowled at him, uncertain of where this was going. She loved Haven— she really did. They’d built a life together that was lucky by most benchmarks. But there were splits, noiseless crevices that had started to broaden over time, and Alexis felt herself floating, uncertain of where the current would take her. “What do you mean?” she had inquired, her voice scarcely over a whisper. She was anxious about the reply, perplexed by what he might say. Haven had taken a profound breath, and Alexis seemed to see the tension in his shoulders, the way he clenched his jaw before at last letting the words spill out. “I know about the entire adventure between you and Matthew.” “What do you need me to say?” Alexis at long last inquired, her voice breaking beneath the weight of her feelings. “That I am sorry? That I’ll stop? I don’t indeed know what th
