There was no such thing as happiness anymore. Everything between them had gone from shouts of joy and happiness and triumph to words of anger and slamming doors. Things had changed and not for the better. It felt as if their love was gone, forever denied to them.
She let out a sigh as she watched him leave, heading for the hidden well on the shrine's grounds. He could not actually go through it anymore. The well had long since sealed itself, leaving him trapped in her world, her time.
It was slowly killing him to be in her world. She saw it with each passing day and felt helpless in stopping the process. His eyes were losing their shine. His ears never perked up when she came home from school or work. There was no way to save him, except to send him back to the past. He could not go, and it scared her to think of how much the air was choking him with each passing second.
He would not walk out of the well house this time. She knew it, felt it in her heart, but she could not go to him, even though she wanted to with all her being. Her pride had gotten the better of her this time, as it always did. The well house door slamming shut sealed his fate.
