The Story Behind
She had feelings for her roommate's boyfriend.
More precisely — her roommate's ex-boyfriend. She only understood what she felt after they broke up.
She kept it buried for three years. Never told anyone.
Then one day her roommate asked: "Did you like him back then?"
She thought she'd been invisible. Blinked. "No, of course not."
"Every time he came to find me, you'd make up a reason to leave. I used to think you just didn't like him. Then later I thought maybe it was something else."
A pause. "I'm sorry," she said.
Her roommate shook her head. "You don't have anything to be sorry for. You didn't do anything."
That was the hardest part. She hadn't done anything.
Maybe that's exactly why it had stayed buried so long.
