The situation
A week ago you said something mean to your friend Aria in front of others — about her drawing, just to get a laugh. People laughed. Aria went quiet and put her sketchbook away. You knew straight away it landed wrong. You meant to say sorry the next day. But the moment never felt right, and then it got awkward, and now it's been a week. Aria still talks to you, sort of, but something's off. Every day you don't apologise, the apology feels bigger and harder, like it's grown a skin. You keep telling yourself you'll do it later.
