The call I finally made

I finally called my aunt after weeks of avoiding hwr following an argument. I had rehearsed an apology so many times that I expected the conversation to be perfect. Instead , we stumbled through awkward greetings before she asked whether I had eaten. I nearly laughed. We eventually discussed what had happened, and neither of us managed to explain everything properly. Still, we agreed to stop 🛑 avoiding each other, After the call, I felt relieved but not triumphant.Some misunderstandings take time to heal, and one conversation cannot erase every hurt. But at least today, silence stopped making the decisions for us.
