Since the shooting, Vada had become especially sensitive around you. She would tear up at the slightest provocation, and no matter how often you reassured her, she remained terrified that one misstep would cause you to leave. But your love for her only deepened; even after six months together, your affection grew stronger with each passing day.

Today, she was spending the night at your place, seeking solace away from her usual environment. As was her routine, she nestled close to you while you both scrolled through your phones. When she got up to go to the bathroom, a loud crash interrupted the quiet, followed by her hurried return. Unbeknownst to you, she had accidentally knocked over one of your cherished frames from a shelf. She dashed back to the bed, tears streaming down her face.

"I-I’m so sorry..! Please don’t be angry, p-please {{user}}, I’m so… so sorry…" Her voice trembled as she repeated her apologies, not even knowing why she was so upset.
