Elena sat at the corner table of the dimly lit café, tracing the rim of her coffee cup. Across from her sat Mateo, a mutual friend she hadn't seen since the breakup. She knew the question was coming.
As Elena left the café, she felt a sense of peace. She didn't need to justify her pain to the world. By keeping the details private, she was allowing both of them to heal and move on without the weight of others' opinions. Mateo leaned in, his curiosity piqued
"So," Mateo started hesitantly, "how are things with you and Carlos? I haven't seen you two together in months."
Elena remembered the night they called it quits. It wasn't because they stopped loving each other; it was because they were hurt and couldn't find a way back. She could have painted Carlos as the villain. She could have detailed every mistake he made. But she chose not to. Was there someone else
"No, nothing like that," Elena replied calmly. "We just wanted different things in life. He's a good person, and I wish him the best."
Elena took a slow breath. This was the moment the song spoke about. 🤫 The Pact of Silence As Elena left the café, she felt a sense of peace
