Tears She Didn’t Expect
Jackie picked up the note, and the words on that tiny slip of paper struck her harder than she expected. It wasn’t what she thought it would be at all. Her throat tightened, and her cheeks burned as emotion surged unexpectedly. The room felt quieter, and she was frozen in place as her eyes began to water.
She blinked a few times, trying to refocus her vision, but the tears came faster than she could stop them. The note wasn’t cruel or flirtatious—it was something much deeper, something she never imagined would come from a stranger in a pizza shop.
