Walking through the darkened street she pulled her jacket tighter around her shoulders as a shiver travelled up her spine. It had been several weeks since she had "died" and left her team behind. She hated that she couldn't say goodbye hated the heartbreak she knew she had left in her wake; hated the fact that she may never see him again.
She could only imagine what his reaction had been to the news that she would no longer be there. Was he angry? Or sad? Did he punch the wall or start screaming for them to tell him the truth? They had never expressed their feelings for one another maybe he was relieved to be rid of her. No. She knew that would never be true. He may be many things but relieved would never be one of them.
The darkness that enveloped the night wrapped around her heart as she realized that she was truly alone. Never again would she lie next to his naked body and listen to him breathe as he slept. She would never touch him again or be touched by him. Their lovemaking had always been fierce and though they had denied their attraction for years, when they had finally come together it had been incredible.
He was so tender and passionate and everything that had been missing in her life. She came to the startling revelation that he had been the one to turn her on not just sexually but spiritually, emotionally and any other way you could imagine. She had thought that her life before him had been lively and interesting and now she knew that she had been merely going through the motions. She hadn't truly come to life until he came along and flipped her switch turning her on.
And now that switch was in the off position. 'Would it ever be turned back on," she wondered as a gentle rain began to fall. Flipping up her collar she slowly made her way to the place she currently called home though she knew she would never truly be home again until she could be with him. Until then she would continue to go through the motions and wait for the day when she would return to him.
