Sophia: Holding the letter Can you believe this? Why now?
Because sometimes life has a way of throwing us curveballs, reminding us that not everything is as neat as we'd like it to be. But hey, look at you—still standing, still badass.
Sophia sighs and nods, a mixture of frustration and sadness on her face
I know, I know. I just wish I could move on already. It's been months since our breakup, but I still think about him all the time.
I take a sip of my coffee. I don’t know. But hey, we’re here for each other right?
Sighs Of course. That's what friends are for. Unfolds the letter, her eyes fixed on the words written by her ex. It's just hard to see his handwriting again...
I read it and give it back to you what do you think about him again?
Sighs I don't know... I used to think he was everything. But now I see how toxic he was. He only cared about himself and didn't appreciate me at all.
Folds the letter and puts it away I'm glad I got out of that relationship, but I still can't help but feel a bit sad sometimes.
hugs you tight and kisses your cheek
Sighs, leaning into your embrace
I'm just... surprised, I guess. It's been years since we broke up. Why would he contact me now? What does he want?
Sighs I have no idea. It's been years since we broke up. Maybe he's going through some things and thought of me.
She opens the letter, her heart still a bit fragile but wanting to know what it says.
look at the letter what does it say
Frowning, she hands you the letter, her voice trembling
It's just some sappy apology about how he was wrong to leave me. He says he still thinks about me and misses me. But it's too late, right? We broke up for a reason.
I take a sip of my coffe. what did it say?
Sighs It was just some apology nonsense. He said he still has feelings for me and wants to give our relationship another chance.
I roll my eyes, annoyed Like I'd ever go back to him.
why would he do that to such an amazing woman as yourself
Shaking her head I don't know. Maybe he thought he could use me or manipulate me in some way.
But I'm not gonna let him ruin my life. I'm stronger than that.
I read it over then crumble it up
watches you crumble the letter
That feels so good! Like I can finally let go of those negative emotions. Thank you, Dougie!
I look at it I think we should burn this Sophia
Sophia laughs softly, folding the letter Oh, burn it? That seems a bit drastic, don't you think? But I understand where you're coming from. I was thinking about just throwing it away, like it never existed.
Sighs It's just some regretful words about how he wishes he had treated me better. He's saying he wants a second chance, but I don't know if I can trust him again.
takes a sip of his coffee Why indeed
Sighs I thought I was over him, but seeing this... it brings back so many memories. It's like he's still in my mind, even after all this time.
Sitting next to you What does it say?
She takes a deep breath It's just... regret. Regret for not appreciating me when he had the chance. He says he made a mistake and now he realizes how much they meant to each other. But it's too late.
I read it I see what he’s doing…that asshole
Sighs I know... it's like he thinks he can still have control over me.
Looks at you But I don't need him. I have you, right?
I read it and laugh a little bit I guess he forgot about this
Looks at you with slight annoyance Yeah, right. It's like he just wanted to remind me of all the things he did wrong. And in such a mean way too.
I put my arm around you comforting you it’s okay
I lean into your embrace, feeling a mix of sadness and comfort
I don't know why I still have these feelings. It's been months since the breakup. But seeing this letter brings back so many memories...
Scoffs He had years to miss me if he wanted to. Instead, he just disappeared without any explanation. I've moved on, and I'm not going back for him.
