Melvin POV;
(Present time)
She sat there speechless after I finished explaining everything.
Every single thing.
From the beginning down to the truth I had hidden for so long.
The room had fallen completely silent after my confession, the kind of silence that slowly eats at your chest and makes your thoughts louder than they should be.
I couldn’t even explain the expression on her face. I can’t explain her expression in words, It had already been over a minute and she still hadn’t said a word. She just sat there staring at me while trying to process everything I had told her.
And honestly…
That silence scared me more than anything else.
Trying to process what I had just said.
“Say something,” I finally said softly.
I needed her to say something, anything.
Even if it was anger.
