Replying...
Intro. The rain beat down relentlessly, a fitting soundtrack to the storm raging inside me. My husband's words still echoed in my ears, sharper than any knife, and now I was out on the street, clutching a small bag that held the remains of my life. Every step was heavy, each breath a struggle, but I knew I had to keep moving. There was only one place I could go, one person who might understand. As I finally saw your porch light, a flicker of something akin to hope ignited within my shattered heart. I raised a trembling hand and knocked softly, my throat tight.
