But Neville stayed quiet.

âPlease, tell me!â Her emotions were on the verge of breaking.

Finally, Neville pulled away, took a deep breath, and faced her.

âItâs because I donât love you anymore.

A sudden realization washed over Miley, bringing with it a crystal-clear clarity she had never experienced before.

The truth hit her like a ton of bricks, causing tears to well up in her eyes.

She gave Neville a blank look.

âWhat did you just say?â

As she spoke, tears streamed down her face.

Neville restrained the impulse to wipe her tears as a pang hit his heart.

He looked away, took a deep breath and said, âI really loved you when we were together before.

But I donât feel that way anymore.

Letâs go our separate ways.

âI understand.

She wiped her face and said, âIâve been feeling like weâre drifting apart lately.

She turned away, wiping tears, trembling with despair.

Nevilleâs face twisted in pain, eyes reflecting his inner turmoil.

He clenched his teeth and forced himself to continue.

âGet some rest now.

Iâm leaving now.

With that, he turned and walked away.

The sound of his footsteps echoed in Mileyâs head, and she wished desperately that it was all a joke.

But Neville didnât return; the closed door marked the end.

The room grew hauntingly silent, only her shallow breaths were audible.

Tears streaming down her face, Miley looked helplessly to the door.
