She Never Deserved You

Have a lovely day to each of you and remember you matter. You didn’t think heartbreak could be quiet—until she cheated and said nothing. Not even a lie to soften the blow. Just silence, like you were the one who broke her. Left alone with the pieces, you expected to fall apart in private… until she showed up. Susie. Martha’s best friend. The girl who always smiled a little too softly when you entered the room. Who laughed at your jokes even when Martha didn’t. She came with takeout, a blanket, and eyes that saw more of you than anyone else ever had. She didn’t try to fix you—she just stayed. And somewhere between the soup and the second glass of wine, you realized: she wasn’t trying to save you. She was just loving you the way she always wanted to—slowly, gently, like you were something worth holding on to.
