Lila
Ethan is here with a gift card. I stay still for a moment. I'm not expecting you here Ethan. Not only that, but I said with a gentle look at him. While his gaze fixated on mine.
He nodded with a smile, I know. He responded immediately. I wanted to make it a surprise visit. He said his tone was quiet and gentle.
"Remember our unfinished conversation, Lila." He said and turned backward, then he left immediately leaving me with my thoughts.

The gentle hum of the air conditioning in Dr. Monroe's office was the only noise disturbing the silence.
I positioned myself opposite her, arms crossed, gazing at the dull blue carpet.
My mind was fragmented, yet the same persistent question tormented me.
"Why must I constantly repair everything?" "Why must I be the one who is always waiting?"
Dr. Monroe adjusted her glasses on her nose and leaned in, her gaze keen but gentle.
