Evening Falls
She blows her nose and dries her eyes. She has just made the most important decision of her life. She may one day regret it, and she will never be able to get rid of the guilt, but she knows for a fact that she really has no other choice. It's either this or destroy everyone involved's life. She can't let that happen to the people she cares and loves. And most important of all, she doesn't want to have anything to do with him any more. She doesn't want to see his face. She doesn't want to hear his voice. She wants to erase everything happened between them. She wants nothing else but to completely and thoroughly cut him out of her life. And the only way to ensure that is to do this. Now.
