DANA
The next morning was worse. After what I received last night from Ivor, after another night of no sleep and just being consumed by regrets and what-ifs, he texted me the morning after. My jaw dropped. It was another thing to be confused about this, but to know the reason why was unraveling.
The message was short and it was annoying.
"Hey, I'm sorry about what I said last night, I was drunk."
That's it. no more lengthy explanation of how annoying that sounded. He said he's sorry, but it didn't feel like that. It didn't even feel genuine because I didn't understand one thing. Was he sorry because it wasn't true or was he sorry for being honest and wrecking my self-concept again?
Whichever was it, I couldn't know because he didn't send a secondary message. And I also didn't reply or even acknowledge the message with an emoji reaction. I promised Zyra I won't. So I won't.
That kind of ruined my day, to be honest.
