I looked at him. He didn’t know if he would keep his promise. But she did know one thing: she was no longer the same woman.

«I’m back. Was hard. But for the first time I said everything».

«I’m proud of you».
I put down the phone and looked around the apartment.
It was messy. But it was silent.
And for the first time, that silence did not scare me.
