The weight in Amelia's chest felt like a boulder as she stared at the half-packed boxes in Emily's living room. She ran her fingers across the surface of a box. So many memories, packed into cardboard.

She felt a surge of tenderness as she recalled the day they met, the awkwardness quickly dissolving into easy camaraderie. She thought of their late-night talks, the secrets shared, the dreams whispered in the darkness.

“You know,” Amelia began, her voice barely above a whisper, "I'm going to miss you so much." A small smile played on her lips, and she reached out to squeeze Emily’s hand. She knew the bond they shared would always be there.
