"I miss you," I wrote, my longing pouring through the words. "Can we meet in the evening, please?" My heart raced with anticipation as I hit the send button, eagerly awaiting her response.

"No, Hun," she responded curtly, a coldness seeping through the digital message. "How cruel you're." I read her words, feeling the weight of her accusation, the sting of rejection. "Yes, I'm," she added, emphasizing her callousness. A sense of despair washed over me, mingling with the confusion that clouded my thoughts. "Huh," was all I could muster in response.
