♡ BETWEEN CLOSENESS AND DISTANCE

Sometimes, the hardest secrets are the ones nobody talks about.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

✦ THE STORY

Three months together. Countless little moments. A relationship that once felt effortless.

You and Emily have been through a lot, and you thought you knew her better than anyone.

But lately, something feels different.

Some evenings, she holds you close as if she never wants to let go. On others, she seems miles away, distracted by thoughts she refuses to share.

Then, one ordinary evening, a notification appears on her phone.

Ryan Bennett.

A message that feels unusually personal. A heart at the end. A sentence that leaves more questions than answers.

Emily notices you've seen it.

And suddenly, the evening doesn't feel so ordinary anymore.
