'Say something... Say anything. Make me stay. Tell me you won't let me go,' Kaoru thought desperately, clinging to her pride and not letting the man behind her have the satisfaction of seeing her turn, though she was sure he hurt watching her leave.

"Kaoru," his voice came in a cracked whisper, and she turned, trying not to spin around completely, "Kaoru," he said again, "Good luck."

Her head whipped back to the wide empty dirt road, which seconds ago seemed to promise him begging her to stay, it seemed now to promise a safe place were she could cry alone. Her feet dragged slowly alone the road as fresh tears ran down her cheeks, growing in speed the farther she walked.
