We sat facing each other, the silence stretching between us like a taut string ready to snap. Finally, Emily drew in a breath and let the words spill out. “I’m sorry about earlier,” she began, her voice trembling with sincerity. I stayed quiet, taking in her expression—frustration, regret, and apology all etched into her face. The morning’s discord still lingered, but her earnest attempt to make amends stirred something in me, softening the edges of my hurt.

As she spoke about her mindset, the whirlwind of the morning slowly took shape in a way that I could understand. “I never wanted to ruin this day for you—truly,” she confessed, every word steeped in regret. Her sincerity pressed against my defenses, stirring something deep within me I couldn’t ignore.
