You sound like someone who has a hard time writing a short story!

Wow! Super helpful to hear about your journey. This is a great idea.

I thought I was the only one taking so long... Unfortunately, stories do not write themselves right...

                              A very effective beginning. It definitely sets the mood. The repetition of door stands out here, though. Maybe you can say something like
                              
                              "The woman in the red dress stepped into the apartment."

 #Rebelbc great job with the sudden turn of event. I can almost feel her pain and disappointment. And the flowers hurtling towards the window and her throwing the vase shows me how frustrated she feels

                              Powerful imagery. I can feel her pain and frustration coming through. I also like the title reference here. May I suggest moving the last sentence "It was over." to a separate line? It's just my opinion but it feels anticlimactic here and would be more powerful separately.
