Lena didn’t unblock everywhere at once. She started with the least emotional one: their shared notes app. Then, she unblocked Chloe’s number in her phone. Her heart pounded, but nothing bad happened. No explosion. Just… silence. That was okay.
But now, Lena missed the small things. Chloe’s silly voice notes. The inside jokes about their terrible coffee shop boss. The way Chloe would send her a single 🦩 emoji when she was thinking of her.
Finally: “I’m really glad you texted. I’ve been wanting to say I’m sorry for weeks but I thought you’d never want to hear it. Take all the time you need. And I miss you.” how can i unblock someone
Lena didn’t text immediately. She gave herself a day. She wanted to unblock for herself first—to leave the door open—before deciding if she wanted to knock.
The next afternoon, Lena took a breath and typed a simple text. “Hey. I unblocked you today. I’m not ready to talk about what happened yet, but I wanted you to know the door isn’t locked anymore. Hope you’re okay.” She almost deleted it. But she hit send. Lena didn’t unblock everywhere at once
Lena frowned. “What if she doesn’t want to hear from me? What if I unblock her and… nothing happens?”
Mateo shrugged. “Then you’ll know. And knowing is better than this ‘maybe’ that’s eating you up.” Her heart pounded, but nothing bad happened
Lena let out a shaky breath. She didn’t reply right away. She just smiled at her phone, feeling the hard knot in her chest begin to loosen.
