“You can fix what is broken, but you can’t rebuild what was never given a chance.
Mira stood by the window, staring at the tiny crack on the glass. It reminded her of the fight she and Tolu had last night. It was such a sharp, unexpected.and painful experience.
They had been friends for years, lovers for months, but for the first time, she wondered if love alone was enough.
Tolu walked in quietly, holding the little bracelet she broke during their argument.
“I fixed it,he said softly.
She looked at him, eyes heavy. “You can fix what is broken… but you can’t force something that never had a chance.”
Tolu stepped closer and took her hand. “Then let’s give it a real chance. No pride. No running. Just us.”
Mira’s chest softened. The crack on the glass was still there, but the warmth between them started melting the coldness inside her.
Love isn’t perfect, but when two people are willing, even the broken parts can become more beautiful than before.
