“Seen. But polished.”
(Or: The reply you never got, and never needed..)
Yes, she read it..
No, she didn’t answer..
Why?
Because the message was never really a message..
It was a test..
An emotional boomerang..
A guilt grenade with lace trim..
So instead of responding, she stretched her legs, booked a manicure, and whispered:
“Red. Like boundaries.”
The phone stayed right there..
With the screen politely glowing: Seen..
Let it be known:
Rose doesn’t do passive / aggressive invitations to drama..
She prefers cuticle oil..
And if you must know:
She didn’t think about it again..
Except maybe.. once..
When her nails caught the light just right..
Rose
