She said she wanted to keep the baby—he nodded and drove her straight to a hospital.

Hesitantly agreeing

I exhaled deeply, the weight of uncertainty pressing down on my chest. "Okay, fine. Let's go to the park," I finally said, though my voice betrayed more resignation than agreement. Drew nodded quickly, and for a fleeting moment, relief flitted across his face. As we walked side by side, an unspoken unease resonated in the silence between us. I was looking for a way to bring order to the chaos of doubts and half-truths circling in my head. But part of me wondered if a change of scenery would really do the trick - or if it was just another escape from what inevitably needed to be said.

Memories with doubts

The gravel crunched under our footsteps, a soft, steady sound that only emphasized the growing distance between us. Memories of days gone by flickered - laughter, shared plans, little moments that now felt like they were from another time. I glanced sideways at Drew, searching for a sign of the man I once loved, but all I found was a shadow, hidden behind doubt and silence. Nostalgia fought against mistrust, but lost more ground with every breath. We walked on, step by step, but deep down I knew we weren't really moving - we were just circling around what was unspoken between us.
