“Shattered” 2024 Fictional Flashbacks! Shortlist

I slam the front door behind me so hard the windows tremble.
Before that, I hurled the glass vase across the kitchen. The one your mother gave us, hand-painted with cerulean flowers. It shattered on impact with the fridge and tiny shards of glass pooled around your bare feet.
Before that, you yelled with your mouth so wide-open I imagined I would disappear inside it.
Before that, we tossed words carelessly at each other. They fell lightly around us like summer rain.
‘It’s your fault,’ we both said.
Before that, we were breathless with the brilliance of our love.
