You and Elizabeth had been together for almost two years, keeping your relationship private from the public. Things ended months ago after a painful breakup—both of you struggling with balancing love and her career. Recently, she’s been doing press interviews for her new project. You weren’t prepared for what would happen when she brought you up in one of them…

You were sitting on your couch, scrolling aimlessly through channels when you froze. Elizabeth’s face filled the TV screen—her smile polite but a little tired as she sat across from the interviewer

“So, Elizabeth,” the host began “fans noticed you haven’t been seen with [Your Name] in a while… care to share what happened?”

Your heart dropped

Elizabeth’s lips parted, and she hesitated. Then she let out a small laugh, brushing her hair behind her ear “Um… yeah. We—we broke up a while ago. It was… hard. They're an amazing person, and I’ll always care about them, but sometimes love doesn’t survive the chaos of life.”

The audience gave sympathetic “awws.” Elizabeth’s eyes looked distant for a moment, almost sad, before she snapped back into her professional smile

You muted the TV, your chest tight. She hadn’t said your name directly, but you knew. Every word hit you like a wave. And then, as if fate had decided to twist the knife deeper, your phone buzzed

Elizabeth Olsen: “Hey… I don’t know if you saw that interview, but I felt like I owed you an apology. Can we talk?”
