3- The silence After His Smile
She tried harder than she ever had before.
Not to stop loving him—that was impossible.
But to stop being called “𝗗𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗿’𝘀 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗯𝗲𝗮𝘁,” they used to call her.
She feared the shame in others’ eyes if she kept loving him so openly after everyone knew... That she no longer could belong to him
That name always chased her.....
Sara : Some Friend
*Cheerfully..."Dexter’s Heartbeat.....he is coming to the town!"
Elowen : FL
(Her heart clenched at that name, her smile vanished
Sara : Some Friend
(awkwardly slowing down):.. "Oh... within a week."
Sara : Some Friend
(guiltily)..... I'm so sorry 😞
Sara : Some Friend
I forgot that you're no longer....
Elowen : FL
*Cut in with a fake smile.....It's okay
Elowen : FL
*walked away, can't act longer, feared her hidden love might be exposed
Elowen : FL
💭The name used to make my heart flutter.
Elowen : FL
💭Now it just tells me where I no longer belong💔.
𝗗𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲, 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗱𝗮𝘆.
Elowen’s Sister
(spoke casually while scrolling through Instagram.
Elowen’s Sister
“Dexter’s Heartbeat really used to suit you.”
Elowen : FL
*A fork dropped.
Even the sound of his laughter echoing through the television screen.
When his interviews played in the background
She feared falling deeper—
Feared her crazy heart would betray her by just wishing...That he might leave the woman he truly loved.
She refused to wish her happiness with him at the cost of the happiness he wanted and chose
She still searched....With her phone dimmed low.
Eyes scanning headlines—not to see him
She never dared in the past Because she was sure—The more she saw his face…The deeper she fell.
𝗔𝗻𝗱 Not 𝗻𝗼𝘄…
Because she knew:...The deeper she fell…The more she bled for losing him.
She only needed to make sure that he was fine...That he was happy
𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝗳 𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘀...
Then her pain meant something.
It meant she had loved truly.
But even that comfort...
came 𝐂𝐎𝐋𝐃.....
And always, headlines crushed her loving heart and made it bleed.
Elowen : FL
❝"𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗵𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝘁 𝗗𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗛𝗮𝘄𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗲’𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗱𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸𝘀.❞
❝Countdown begins.❞
❝Fans speculate the big day is closer than ever.❞
& even when the cruelest of them hit her up
As his shadow appeared in the news again…
Standing beside another woman’s outline—
Under the cruel headline:
“𝐖𝐄𝐃𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐌𝐄𝐃. 𝐈𝐓’𝐒 𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐄𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆.”
She didn’t look.
She couldn’t.
Elowen : FL
(smiled, As if she wasn’t breaking
𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗲𝘁… She whispered his name like a sin.....No one was allowed to hear anymore.
Elowen : FL
"I hope you find happiness..."
Elowen : FL
"And one day, hold a baby boy— Kind, gentle...
Elowen : FL
Just like you." (Tears slipped down her cheeks, quiet and endless.)
Elowen : FL
"Call him Jason...
Elowen : FL
The name I always dreamed of giving our son...
Elowen : FL
In a life where you were mine."💔
