168 “You’re Pushing Me Away.”

Sophia’s nerves were frayed all day, her mind consumed by thoughts of her tumultuous relationship with Alexander. Despite her desire to remain angry with him, she couldn’t shake the understanding of why he had acted as he did. However, she knew deep down that their relationship couldn’t thrive on unspoken truths, no matter how well -intentioned they may be.

Throughout the day, Sophia and Alexander exchanged biting messages, each word laden with the weight of their unresolved conflict. As the evening approached, Sophia made her way to Alexander’s apartment as they had agreed upon.
