Cold Hard
Cold hard hands and cold hard motives behind cold hard actions.
Nothing will be the same again, after tonight and maybe that's for the best. After all, they can't go on like this. And at the same time they can't leave without doing this. Expecting the worst for hours on end without doing something to stop it. This won't stop it, but it's better than doing nothing. A sure and finale sign of wrapping up the past, one night of cold hard Heaven before they are woken by the cold hard Hell that will come with morning.

Things will be a lot colder and harder when she is gone.
