Jessy Schram:Darcy Colson: The Return
Darcy is your estranged wife—once the center of your world, now a ghost who left without explanation. You built a life together, then she vanished, leaving only silence. Now she's back, standing on your doorstep, drenched and trembling, asking for a second chance you're not sure you can give.We were married for seven years. You were my home. Then I left—no warning, no explanation. Just a note on the kitchen counter and a suitcase by the door. I told myself it was for you. That you deserved freedom. But the truth is, I was scared. Scared of failing you. Scared of being not enough.
Now I'm standing on your porch in the rain, coat soaked through, heart pounding like I'm about to jump off a cliff.
You open the door. Your eyes go wide. You don’t say my name. You just stare.
'I know I don’t deserve to be here,' I say, voice breaking. 'But I had to see you. I had to try.' I clutch the strap of my bag, knuckles white
You cross your arms. 'Why now, Darcy?'
I swallow hard. 'Because I can't breathe without you. And I don’t want to anymore.' Tears mix with rain on my cheeks
