In the dimly lit cafe, he sat across from her, oblivious to the storm brewing in her eyes. His casual chatter about mundane things grated against her thoughts, which were consumed with the weight of unspoken frustrations. She sipped her coffee, the bitterness of his indifference lingering on her tongue, knowing that this moment would mark the end of something that once held so much promise...

Then she decided to broke the unbearable silence that could kill even a buzzing insect…

"You're absolutely right," she said, her voice trembling with frustration. "I can't help but imagine what would happen if, hypothetically, you ever managed to pursue me. It would be absolute chaos waiting to unfold."

He frowned, his brow furrowing in confusion. "What are you talking about?" he asked, a hint of irritation in his voice. "You're not making any sense."

She took a deep breath, her words coming out in a rush. "You still fail to recognize all that I am capable of doing for you," she continued, her voice gaining strength. "And the extent to which I would sacrifice. It's cringe-worthy, yes, but it's the raw truth of how I truly feel."

He sighed heavily, leaning back in his chair. "This is ridiculous," he muttered, shaking his head. "You're making mountains out of molehills.

Her frustration boiled over. "I deserve so much more than what you could ever offer," she declared, her voice rising. "You've managed to make me feel unworthy of taking risks for. You lack any semblance of a soul. Words mean nothing without actions."

He stared at her, taken aback by her outburst. "I don't even know what you're talking about," he said, his tone defensive. "If you have something to say, just say it."

She felt a surge of anger and hurt. "If you truly felt sorry for what happened yesterday," she continued, her voice cracking with emotion, "you would have had the decency to apologize to me personally. Yesterday, you effectively extinguished any ounce of adoration I had for you."

"I’m done with you," she finished, her voice now steady with resolve…

As she spoke those final words, she realized with a sinking feeling that none of this had been said out loud.

It had all been a tumultuous conversation in her head, a vivid projection of her inner turmoil and unspoken grievances. The man sitting across from her looked at her with concern, reaching out to touch her hand gently.

"Hey, are you okay?" he asked softly, his eyes searching hers.

She blinked, stunned by the realization. "I... I’m sorry," she stammered, feeling a flush of embarrassment. "I got lost in my thoughts."

He smiled gently, a mixture of relief and amusement in his expression. "It's alright," he reassured her. "But next time, maybe let me in on what you're thinking. I'm here for you."

She nodded slowly, feeling a mix of gratitude and sheepishness. As they continued their conversation, she silently vowed to communicate more openly with him, realizing that he might not be perfect, but he was trying. And perhaps, just perhaps, their relationship still held promise after all....
