"Answer me," he said, stepping closer.
His voice wasn't loud.
But it carried something deeper—
Pain. Hope. Fear.
"Do you love him… or me?"
The question hit her like a storm.
Her world blurred.
Tears rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably now.
She had tried so hard to be strong.
To do the right thing.
To sacrifice her own happiness.
But standing here…
Looking into his eyes again…
She realized something.
Some sacrifices don't save anyone.
They only destroy everything.
Her voice shook.
"I…"
She couldn't breathe.
She couldn't think.
All she could feel—
Was love.
