Never look back
She didn’t bring anything with her tonight, no suitcase, no phone, no apology. Just the quiet certainty that some lives weren’t meant to be fixed, only left behind.
At the corner, she stopped. The streetlight buzzed above her, flickered once, then went out.
Mara took a breath, and kept walking,
without hesitation,
without a backward glance,
and without a name that belonged to her anymore.
