00:00The sun peeked through the blinds as Lisa Morgan stirred in bed, her head pounding from the night
00:05before. She squinted against the morning light, her mind trying to piece together the fragments
00:10of last night's chaos. Empty bottles of wine on the kitchen counter, muffled laughter,
00:17and blaring music from the bar replayed in flashes behind her eyes. She turned over to reach for her
00:23fiancé, Ethan, but the space beside her was cold and empty. Lisa sat up, groggy, confused.
00:30Ethan, she called out, but only silence greeted her. The apartment was still. No sound of the
00:37coffee machine, no soft footsteps padding across the hardwood floor. Her heart began to beat faster.
00:44She swung her legs off the bed and stood, still in the dress she had worn last night,
00:48wrinkled and reeking of alcohol. She walked toward the kitchen, hoping to see him there,
00:54maybe annoyed, maybe distant, but present. Instead, her eyes fell on a single white envelope lying
01:02neatly on the dining table. Her name, Lisa, was scrawled across the front in Ethan's familiar
01:08handwriting. Her stomach dropped, hands trembling. She opened the envelope, pulling out a letter written
01:15in ink that had slightly smudged at the corners, as if it had been touched by water or tears.
01:21Lisa, I wish I didn't have to write this, but last night confirmed what I've tried to ignore for
01:27months. I'm not angry about what you did. I'm hurt that you don't even realize how far you've gone.
01:33You say you love me, but love isn't just words you say between apologies and hangovers.
01:38I've tried to reach you. I stood by you through the late nights, the impulsive decisions,
01:43and the mornings after. But each time, I lose more of myself trying to hold on to you.
01:50You didn't come home last night. And I know exactly where you were. I saw you with him.
01:56You laughed like I wasn't waiting at home with takeout and candles lit for our anniversary.
02:01You didn't even remember. That's what broke me. By the time you read this, I'll be gone.
02:06I need time. I need peace. Maybe this will finally wake you up. Take care of yourself, Lisa.
02:13You won't hear from me for a while. Ethan. The letter slipped from Lisa's hand and floated to
02:19the floor. She sank to her knees, unable to breathe. Her anniversary. She had completely
02:26forgotten. It all came back in a crushing wave. The invitation from co-workers to celebrate a
02:32Friday promotion. The shots she had meant to take. The way her co-worker Brian had leaned in too close
02:37and how she hadn't exactly pulled away. She had meant to hurt Ethan. But clearly she had.
02:44Lisa stayed on the floor for hours, holding herself, the silence, in the apartment deafening.
02:50That day bled into the next. She tried calling him, texting him, even reaching out to his sister
02:57Rachel. But all she got was radio silence. He had vanished. No trace. No update. No return calls.
03:04A week passed. Then, two. She stopped going to work. The mirror became her enemy,
03:11showing her the face of someone she barely recognized. She hadn't realized just how much
03:16Ethan had grounded her. Now, without him, everything spun out of control. She dug through old photos,
03:23remembering better times. Ethan brushing the hair from her face during a hike in Colorado.
03:29Ethan surprising her with breakfast in bed after a tough week.
03:32Ethan waiting at the airport with flowers after her work trip. How had she let that kind of love slip
03:38away? One afternoon, nearly a month after he'd left, Lisa got an email from an unknown address.
03:45The subject line read,
03:47For when you're ready. Her hands shook as she opened it. There was no message, just an attachment,
03:53an audio file labeled Truth MP3. She clicked it. Ethan's voice came through, calm and steady.
04:02Lisa, I didn't want to leave things with just a letter. You deserve to hear my voice. I didn't
04:07disappear to punish you. I just couldn't keep putting my heart through this. I watched the woman I love
04:13lose herself, and I didn't know how to help anymore. Maybe hearing this will reach you more than my words
04:19on paper ever could. He went on to explain how he had rented a cabin in Vermont to clear his mind,
04:26how he needed to separate love from dependency, and how watching Lisa's spiral had broken him bit by
04:31bit. You were never just the girl I fell in love with. You were the person I believed in. But belief
04:37alone isn't enough. I needed your effort, your care, your honesty. I still love you, but I need you to
04:44love yourself first. Lisa listened to the recording on repeat, her tears soaking her sleeves. That night,
04:52she finally did something different. She went to her first AA meeting. It was the hardest thing she had
04:58ever done. Speaking up, saying out loud that she had a problem, facing strangers, and her own reflection
05:05with raw honesty. But step by step, she kept going. One meeting became two, then a week, then a month.
05:12She started writing in a journal. She signed up for therapy. She even began volunteering at the local
05:19shelter, anything that could channel her energy into rebuilding instead of regretting. Still,
05:25no word from Ethan. Then came the holidays. She passed Thanksgiving alone, lighting a candle for what
05:32she had lost. On Christmas Eve, she dropped a small card in the mail address to Ethan's parents,
05:37who had always treated her like family. It simply said, I'm sorry. I'm working on being better.
05:44Please tell him that. New Year's came and went. She celebrated it quietly, watching fireworks from
05:52the roof of her apartment complex. She didn't drink. Instead, she whispered a promise to the stars.
05:58I'm not giving up. On me. Or on us. In February, she received a small package in the mail. No return
06:07address. Inside was a notebook. The first page read, One page a day, Lisa. That's all it takes.
06:15It was Ethan's handwriting. She opened to the next page. It was blank. Then the next, another blank page,
06:23but at the bottom was a note. Forgiveness isn't a door. It's a path. Every day for 30 days, she turned
06:31a page. Each one held a new sentence from Ethan. Sometimes a memory. Sometimes a question. Sometimes
06:38just a line of encouragement. By the end of the month, the last page simply said, If you've read
06:45all this, I want to meet you. Same place where we first met. Saturday. Noon. Her heart stopped.
06:52They had met in front of a local bookstore downtown, one she had ducked into during a thunderstorm. He
06:58had offered her his umbrella. It was cliche, but it had started everything. That Saturday,
07:04she stood in front of the bookstore, heart pounding. The clouds threatened rain again. She waited.
07:11Then, across the street, she saw him. Ethan looked different. Maybe she did too. Time had softened them
07:18both. He walked over slowly. They didn't say anything for a long moment. I got your card,
07:24he finally said. And the notebook, she replied. They stood in silence, the weight of everything
07:30between them, and yet the space didn't feel empty. It felt full. I'm sorry, she said, her voice breaking.
07:38I know, he whispered. I've changed. Not for you. For me. But I hope it still matters.
07:46He smiled faintly. It does. Rain began to fall, light at first, then heavier. Lisa laughed,
07:54pulling her coat tighter. Ethan pulled out an umbrella from his bag. Deja vu, he asked. She nodded.
08:01They stood under the umbrella, the past not forgotten, but forgiven, and the future unwritten.
08:06But there's to build again.
