Rainy Days
It was on these gloomy days that Olivia was forced to think.
Think about what she had.
What she lost.
What could have happened.
And most of all,
What they had.
It was on these dreary days Olivia became oblivious to the sights, sounds, and smells of the city.
The waft of hot dogs from the vendor disappeared.
The mother dragging along a defiant toddler disappeared.
The homeless man with the greasy hair and tin can disappeared.
Everything disappeared.
It was on these lonely days Olivia stopped at a certain coffeehouse in midtown and sobbed until the ache in her heart subsided.
It was on these oddly familiar days Olivia went back to her empty apartment and took a shower, drenching her hair in the familiar shampoo.
It was on these suicidal days Olivia saw the bottle of pills, willing herself to "accidentally" overdose.
It was on these days Olivia's eyes slipped to the picture of Alex by her bedside and grabbed the glass of water instead.
