He leans down, his foul breath mingling with hers. She can taste the scotch he's been drinking. The morning sun filters through the curtains, as he graces her lips with his. She's hiding the distaste she feels. He's running his finger over her ring finger, reminding himself that she still loves him. It offers little comfort. Her body shivers slightly, running a chill through his. Her discomfort is radiating from her lips, and planting itself in his chest. He tries to ignore it.
Then she's gone, nothing but a the shape of her head on the pillow to console him.
In the bathroom, she leans on the sink and cries. The water is running, her salty tears mixing with the fresh water. The water does not fool him, and he can hear her tears. Tears over him. She splashes water on her face, attempting to hide the tears, knowing deep in her heart, that he knows.
The bedroom is empty. She hears him downstairs, and quietly walks down the stairs. He's in the kitchen, and sees her enter. He says nothing.
Then she's gone. Running through the house. She opens the front door, and pauses.
Then, she's gone. And, in his heart, he knows, she won't be back.
