he was getting ready to leave. the one before him left too. and the one before that.
she watched him pack and her heart ached. it always happened this way with her. the initial attraction, the first date, the part where she allowed herself to get a little too attached. then came the job opportunity. a "can't pass it up" deal. travel.
every one of them had been right, of course. they had all been fantastic opportunities, chances she would take, if she was in their shoes.
she was never in their shoes.
again today, she stood watching him, bent over the bed, clumsily folding a shirt.
loneliness had settled in before, but loneliness for company. any company at all.
today it was something else.
today it was abandonment.
