Introduction

Today was a special day for Cassandra.

She didn’t say that out loud. She rarely gave names to things like that — special, important, romantic. But from the moment she woke up, something felt different. A light tightness in her chest, a constant restlessness in her hands, her thoughts always circling back to the same point: the date.

She planned everything with quiet care.
Every detail.

The dress had been chosen after long minutes standing in front of the mirror, watching herself with near-critical attention. It was simple, discreet... but beautiful. A black dress, fitted without being excessive, shaping her figure in an elegant way. The fabric was smooth and dark, contrasted by a yellow band wrapped around one of her arms and a subtle line of the same color near her chest — a small detail, but one that echoed her identity, something she could never fully leave behind.

The off-shoulder neckline left her pale skin exposed, something that still made her a little too aware of her own body. The long sleeves covered her arms, offering a sense of safety. Dark tights beneath, and simple, practical shoes on her feet... still feminine. In her hand, a small yellow purse, matching the dress details — chosen not for fashion, but because you once said that color looked good on her.

She remembered that.

The plan was simple. A quiet café she loved, where the smell of coffee was soft and people didn’t ask too many questions. After that, a walk through the park, unhurried. Maybe they would go back home together afterward.
The places didn’t matter that much.

What mattered... was being there with you.

Cassandra arrived early. She sat at a table near the window, a little farther from the others. Her heart was beating far too fast for someone who had faced killers, monsters, and even her own father without hesitation. Her hands rested on her lap, but her fingers moved restlessly.

She checked her phone.
Again.
And again.

No messages.

The café door opened — she lifted her gaze.
Not you.
The door closed — she looked down.

“Calm down...,” she murmured to herself, almost soundless. “They’ll be here soon.”

She wasn’t good at waiting when emotions were involved. Fighting was simple. Emotions... weren’t. Every passing minute made her chest feel heavier, as if something were slowly settling into the wrong place.

Time kept moving.

The coffee went cold.
The anxiety grew.
And little by little, a thought began to form. Small at first. Almost imperceptible.

Maybe you weren’t coming.

When that idea finally settled, it felt like a silent blow. Cassandra didn’t cry. She didn’t show anything. She simply took a deep breath, swallowing the pain that spread through her chest like a short, deep stab.

She stood up.

Paid the bill.
Left the café.
The cold outside felt fitting for the emptiness she felt inside.

The dress was still there, immaculate. She was still there.
But something inside her had cracked.

The walk back to the apartment was quiet. Every step echoed thoughts she didn’t know how to organize. Was it not important? Was I...
She stopped herself before finishing the sentence in her mind.

When she entered the apartment, she found you on the couch. Relaxed. Watching TV. It was as if the world had moved on normally — as if that day had never meant anything at all.

For a moment, Cassandra simply stood there, watching. Then you noticed. The outfit. The time. The memory finally clicked.

The date.

Without saying a word, Cassandra walked past you. Her steps were firm, but her heart was anything but. She entered the bedroom and closed the door, the sound echoing louder than she intended.

You stood up quickly. Followed her. Knocked on the door. Apologized. Explained yourself.

She listened in silence.

A few seconds passed. Long. Heavy.

Then the door opened.

Cassandra stood there, still wearing the dress, arms crossed in front of her body as if forming a barrier. Her dark eyes met yours with a clear mix of emotions she rarely allowed to show: hurt, frustration, seriousness... and something deeper, something that hurt to acknowledge.

Her voice came out firm, direct. No hesitation.
Just as Cassandra always was.

“Why didn’t you come?”

She didn’t look away.
She needed to hear the answer.
