THE LOVE THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING
“So you decided to invade my life because you couldn’t stand seeing me happy?”
Nonye flinched. “No, I came because I couldn’t breathe knowing I had destroyed the best thing I ever had. I came because I still love you, Chi.”
The words landed like fire on dry grass.
Chi wanted to laugh, to scream, to run. Instead, she sat frozen. The ache in her chest betrayed her, the echo of years when Nonye’s love had been her universe.
“You don’t get to walk in here after years and throw ‘I still love you’ at me like it’s a gift,” Chi said. Her voice was low, steady. “Love is showing up. Love is staying. You didn’t stay.”
