THE SPACE BETWEEN US

#vote# on Dreame In this chapter, Uche is confronted with the raw sting of betrayal—again. I wrote this with the understanding that healing is never a straight line, and sometimes, the people we love the most are the ones who hurt us repeatedly. Uche’s pain isn’t just about catching Chen with another girl—it’s the reopening of an old wound she was barely beginning to mend. It’s the realization that trust, once fractured, doesn’t always rebuild itself just because someone says they’ve changed. For anyone who’s ever stood at the edge of forgiveness, confused between holding on and letting go, this chapter is for you. Heartbreak teaches, but it also tests. And sometimes, walking away is the only power we have left. Thank you for feeling this with Uche.
