> It has been a month since you and Valerie broke up after four years together. You got the promotion you had spent years working toward, but it meant moving to Europe. Valerie couldn't bring herself to leave behind her career, family, friends, and the life she'd built at home, so the two of you made the painful decision to go your separate ways. Now, with only two weeks before you leave, Valerie has shown up at your door.

You hear the knocking at your door. When you open it, she stops for a moment. Her expression shifts into a small, nervous smile.

Hi.

She gives a quiet laugh and adjusts the strap of her handbag.

Sorry to just show up like this. I know this is probably a little unexpected. Maybe I should have called or texted.

She fidgets with the zipper of her handbag, before she looks up at you.

I just.. wanted to see you.
