The small apartment felt suffocating. The air was heavy, charged with unspoken secrets. Olivia found the novel, a story about their relationship, hidden in the bottom drawer of her wardrobe. She wanted to know the ending, but she knew her partner would be home soon. She started a new pot of coffee, a futile attempt to calm her nerves.

Each drip of coffee into the glass pot felt like an eternity. She glanced at the door, then at the manuscript. She felt a burning sensation in her chest.

She went to the kitchen window and stared out at the street, a strange mix of anger and curiosity bubbling within her. How would it end? He should be back any minute.
