You’re not that girl in the photo with silver rings on every one of her fingers using a knife to cut strawberries into a bowl. Something about her stance tells you that she would walk away, that she wouldn’t stand with her back to the refrigerator in hollow defeat as tears roll down her cheeks. She holds the knife with the confidence of a woman who knows where to find the door.
