Well, there wasn't anybody around to apologize to but the rocks. She sat down hard on a ledge, her legs shaking a little. The carving was deep.

Score: 7/10
She turns to go down; her everything is waiting at home. It's scary, but what' scarier is looking back regretting and lying that it would be fine if someone else loved her like she couldn't. "W for me, just a little longer..."

Score: 6/10
She clicked the radio twice to say she heard. Then she started down the mountain, moving steady on the loose rock. Her legs knew the way back even in the dark coming on.

Honest and grounded, but it pulls back just when vulnerability could deepen into something unforgettable.
