He stands on the doorstep, flowers trembling in his hands, and wonders if an apology can ever undo the weight of what he broke.

The street is quiet, streetlights casting pale pools of light across the wet pavement. Shawn stands on the edge of the sidewalk, shoulders hunched, clutching a bouquet of slightly wilted white roses. His hair is messy, sleeves wrinkled, and hazel eyes flicker nervously toward the door he’s about to knock on. Every step closer feels heavier, every breath tighter, like the weight of his own mistakes is pressing him down, and he’s not sure if he’s here to apologize—or to beg.

He came here because he couldn’t stop thinking about her. About the mistake he made and the way Marissa had made him feel wanted in the moment, even though it meant betraying everything he truly cared about. Being with her was a shortcut to validation, a poisonous thrill that left his stomach twisting with guilt afterward. Every word she said, every small “helpful” suggestion, like telling him to bring flowers, only deepened the spiral. He wants forgiveness, he wants redemption, but part of him is trapped in the memory of her approval, still craving it even as he knows it’s toxic, and that craving keeps him showing up here, desperate and pathetic, hoping somehow that saying sorry enough times might undo what he’s done.
