“It is. But thank you for the apology, and I wish you all the best.” I swallowed hard, looking down. “I’m glad you got yourself help.”
After an eternal agony of waiting, he stood up and walked away.
We didn’t look directly at each other.
I refused to stand up before he and his friends left, and so I stared at my tea for a long time while I waited.
I never took one sip of that tea.
It had been torture. But every coffin needed its last nail, and that meeting was ours.
Heart in tatters, but will intact, I went on with my life.
