When Love is a Question Mark

She believes in true love. He doesn’t believe in love. But what is love, really? She is the epitome of success—a star people look up to and admire. To him, however, she is merely a business transaction, a partner chosen to enhance his status. To his friends, she is just a fool in love, a pathetic figure begging for affection. Then shocking news emerges: her first true love returns, throwing him off guard. He realizes he has been nothing more than a substitute for her first love. He should be angry, but instead, he finds himself overwhelmed by emotions he can’t express or understand. Is this possessiveness, or is he finally learning to love her? She is determined to return to her first love, but inside, she is torn. Did she really treat him as just a substitute, or did she actually come to love him? What are they supposed to do when love is a question mark?

Silent burdens

Samuel pulled the car to the side of the road, his fingers tightening around his phone as he raised it to his ear. His voice was low, soft. "I'm sorry for missing dinner again, Zinnia. Work pulled me in. Have you already eaten?"

Zinnia glanced down at the empty table, where a simple place setting lay in front of her. She hadn't touched it, waiting for him. "Not yet," she replied, a slight pause before she added, "I was just about to. Will you be home soon?"

Leaning back in his seat, Samuel rubbed his eyes, the day's tension evident in the lines of his face. "Yes, I'm on my way. But don't wait up for me. Go ahead and eat if you're hungry."

Her voice came back over the line, gentle yet firm. "I'll cook something. I'll wait. Just… drive safe, okay?"

He felt a pang in his chest at her words. She worried about him, more than he deserved. "Thanks, Zinnia," he said softly. "I'll be home soon."
