The tears had dried, and yet her eyes remained red and raw, burning with a pain that went far deeper than mere physical discomfort. She sat on the bed, knees pulled up to her chest, arms wrapped tightly around herself, as if she could somehow hold the shattered pieces of her world together. The room was silent, save for the sound of her own ragged breathing, the pounding of her heart echoing in her ears like a relentless drum.
She didn't know how long she had been there, lost in the maelstrom of her emotions. Time had lost all meaning, the world outside her room a distant, hazy blur. Her mind kept replaying the scene over and over again, the words, the expressions, the betrayal. It was a never-ending loop, a cruel torture that she couldn't escape.
