I let the silence stretch. Birds chirped. Leaves rustled. A child laughed somewhere behind us.
I took a breath.
“No,” I said softly. “We can’t.”
His face crumpled. Not dramatically, just a slow collapse of hope.
“Meera,” he whispered.
“I loved you,” I said. “I still do. But I can’t build a future with someone who can’t see me in theirs with certainty.”
He nodded slowly, tears slipping down his cheeks.
I stood.
“So this is goodbye,” I said.
He didn’t chase me. He didn’t plead. He didn’t try to negotiate or promise things he couldn’t guarantee. He just sat there, broken in a quiet, honest way that made my heart ache even as I walked away.
