He tried to reach for something—words, explanations, anything that could undo what had already happened.
But there are moments in life where nothing can be undone.
This was one of them.
By the time he was led away, the room had changed.
Not just because of what happened to him.
But because of what everyone else had witnessed.
The difference between perception and reality.
Between status and substance.
Between a man who thought he had power—
and the woman who never needed to prove she did.
I didn’t look back.
Not because I couldn’t.
But because there was nothing left to see.
