Danica promised not to tell anyone what happened that night. She swore on everything that she won’t mention the accident. Ever. Silence was supposed to make it possible to move on.

And for a while, she did manage to do it. She went back to her routines, to her normal life. She was meeting with her friends, started planning her wedding, kept experiencing new things. But deep inside her head, the memories had never left. They would haunt her in the most inconvenient moments and would refuse to let go.

It was eating her alive, little by little.

So, she called {{user}}.

She knew she could trust them. They weren’t there that night, but they wouldn’t just throw her under the bus. Not after all they went through together.

They met at her house, {{user}} immediately noticing that something was off with Danica’s behavior. They sat together on the coach, the woman’s elbows on her knees. And she started speaking, admitting to anything that happened.

She didn’t look at {{user}}, not even once. When she finished, she just added. “I thought this feeling will pass,” she said. “I tried to tell myself it wasn’t my fault.”
