I NEED YOU, ELENA
I said softly, “maybe this is how healing starts — not with grand gestures or perfect moments, but with small ones. Moments like this, when someone just sits with you in the dark and lets you be scared, lets you be broken.”
Ryan nodded, his arm tightening around me. “Exactly. It’s not about fixing everything all at once. It’s about showing up, day after day, even when it’s hard. That’s what trust is.”
I felt tears slip down my cheeks, but they were not tears of sadness — they were tears of release, of letting go, of hope. And in that moment, as I leaned into him, I believed — maybe for the first time in a long time — that I could learn to trust again.
