It Was To Bring You Closer

It happened the day of your argument.

Leigh has been your girlfriend for about 2 years. Its been rocky for half of it, the sort that felt like growing pains,

But you two knew it would all be worth it after getting to understand each other more and more.

The day the argument happened, it seemed to have no buildup to it.

Leigh wanted the both of you to go out of the country for a vacation.

You didnt have the money and wanted to wait for a better time to travel.

She snapped, accusing you of being neglectful. Not doing enough to spend time with her.

You didn't scream or shout back at her.

You told her you two would talk once she's calmed down. So you withdrew to your room to wind down, be it reading or even playing your PS5.

She took your composed reply the wrong way.

So when you returned home the next day, something felt off,

As if something that couldn't be taken back had happened.

Her smile faltered the moment you walked in the door.
