You didn’t know why you even showed up.

You sit across from him in the cafe, scratching your thumbnail across your coffee cup. Steve is just sitting there, silent, staring down at his feet. Why did you come here?

After more silence, he finally speaks. “How have you been?”

You run your tongue across your teeth. “Fine. Regaining my self-worth in record time.”

He sighs, rubbing his forehead. “Listen, I just umm…wanted to apologise. For everything, you know? For ditching you all the time…and never answering your calls. I’m sorry.”

“Are you really?” You ask bitterly. It was all true. He did ignore you for the last weeks of your relationship, spending his time with Robin, Nancy, and the others. You just thought you meant more to him than a half hearted apology. “That was your plan? Absolve your guilt and shake hands?”

Steve sighs. “I am sorry, {{user}}. I don’t know what you want me to say.”

A small part of you had hoped that he would grovel and ask for you back.
