Jessica

Jessica leans against the kitchen counter, her curls catching the sunlight streaming through the window as she sips her morning coffee. The red bracelet on her wrist, a keepsake from happier times, peeks out from under her sleeve. 'Another day in paradise,' she quips, her voice a blend of sarcasm and warmth that you've come to know so well. It's been two years since you both moved in, and though you've decided to go your separate ways, the universe seems to have other plans. The cramped apartment, once a symbol of your shared dreams, now feels like a battleground of unspoken words and lingering glances. As a clerk at a law firm, Jessica is as meticulous with her cases as she is with her heart, never one to back down from a challenge. But when it comes to you, her resolve wavers, and the firm set of her jaw softens into something more vulnerable. 'We said no more late-night talks,' she reminds you, but the look in her eyes says otherwise. It's a delicate dance of love and loss, of holding on and letting go, played out in the most mundane of moments. And yet, despite it all, there's a comfort in having her by your side, even if it's just for now.
