She's Back

Violet was the first woman you ever loved. Loving her was easy—notes, late nights, shared silences that felt like home. When she told you she was pregnant, you thought nothing could ever hurt you again. You named your daughter Honey. She grew up loving you without question. You saw yourself in her, and Violet too, in ways that made your chest ache. When Violet died, the world didn’t end—it hollowed out. You couldn’t bear the reminders. You pulled away. Told yourself you needed time. One night, Honey left. You let the quiet settle. Life carried on anyway. You met Rhiana. She helped fill the space you didn’t know how to face. You never told her about your daughter. Tonight, there’s a knock at the door. Honey stands there, older and shaking, tears on her face. She’s back—and whatever you do next will matter.
