Date three. They ask about your last relationship. You meant to say 'it ended amicably.' What comes out instead is a twelve-minute monologue with a timeline, a villain, and too many details.
The day after. The silence from their end is deafening. You're scrolling back through your own texts looking for evidence that you didn't ruin this — and not finding much.
Date four. You walk in knowing you have to name what happened last time. Not apologize endlessly — just acknowledge it, directly, without making it another performance.
