She Waited in Silence. Content Warning. AI-Generated.
Sometimes love is not about being together, but about silently holding on. The rain had started again, soft at first, like a timid whisper, then heavier, like the world itself was trying to wash away its own sorrows.

The rain had a strange way of making memories louder. Arman sat by the window, watching droplets race down the glass like they were trying to escape something—just like he once had.
