The First Wildflower

Created by Rachel Maria Kisellus

I didn’t mean to find the truth.

Not this time.

I wasn’t looking for a reckoning or a reason. I reached out with no agenda. No anger. Just a quiet tug ~ one of those internal nudges that says check in, even if you’re not sure why.

It had been nearly a year since we last spoke.

She used to be someone I trusted. Someone I once considered a friend. The kind who smiles easily, offers flattery generously, and takes photos of you with your baby like it’s all part of some shared memory.

And maybe it was.

But I didn’t know she was using me.

I thought we were building something together.

Until I found out I’d been a prop in her story.
