The Waiting Game

The rest of the day was a blur. Lucy didn't know what to expect from Tim now that everything was out in the open. She drove home in silence, her mind replaying the conversation over and over again.She hadn't wanted it to happen like this, but the truth had come out. Now, she had to wait.That night, Lucy collapsed on the couch, her phone lying in her lap. She wanted to reach out to Angela, but she wasn't sure what to say. There was so much uncertainty now.Finally, her phone buzzed with a message. It was from Tim.Tim: I'm not sure what to do with this information. I need time. I'll reach out when I figure things out.Lucy stared at the message for a long moment, the words sinking in. Tim didn't want to make any decisions just yet. He needed time.And for the first time in a long time, Lucy realized she wasn't the one in control.
