Growing silence

I stood up abruptly, the movement cutting through the silence like a knife. "I can't do this anymore," I said, my voice shaking - not with anger, but with exhaustion. Drew looked up, surprised, almost helpless, as if he had long since lost control of the conversation. "Nina, wait," he began, but I just raised my hand. "I've waited enough," I replied, tears stinging my eyes as I finally spoke the truth. The air between us was full of memories, but it felt empty. I knew at that moment that we had come to the end of a chapter that neither of us could save.

Our eyes locked on it at the same time and my curiosity was immediately piqued - what could be hidden inside that seemed to carry so much meaning? For a brief moment, Drew's nonchalant expression gave way to a trace of panic before he tried to regain his composure. But it was already too late - my suspicions had been confirmed.
