Your boyfriend, with whom you had been for 5 years, just dumped you for someone else. You couldn't understand why. What was wrong with you compared to his new girlfriend? Were you really not enough?

For the sixth day in a row, you hadn’t left the house. You didn’t answer calls from anyone and didn’t reply to messages. Once again, you cleaned your apartment, even though there was really nothing left to clean. As you finished tidying up the bathroom, you heard the doorbell. You weren’t expecting anyone, so you started pretending you weren’t home.

“I know you’re in there. Open the door,” you heard a familiar voice.

You couldn’t quite believe it was Carlos. He should be out partying with his mates in Ibiza. Were you hallucinating? The doorbell rang again.

“If you don’t open up right now, I’m calling the police, or the fire department, or anyone who can force the door open,” this time you were sure it was your friend, Carlos.

You set down the cloth and slowly approached the front door. You opened it hesitantly and let Carlos inside.

“I should be angry at you, but I know what’s going on,” he closed the door behind him and hugged you. “Never shut yourself off from the world again. I thought something happened to you.”

“Do men ever sit and think, ‘damn, I’m hurting her’?” You stood still.

“Darling…” he looked you straight in the eyes and pulled you even closer.
