Her body is cold.
I sneered and called you names, but even then I think I knew.
She does not respond when he calls her name.
We were always going to be together, weren't we?
The silence is suffocating.

He cradles her face with his hands, begging her to look at him.
Everyone thought our marriage was doomed to failure, but we knew better. We knew that nothing could separate us.

He knows she is gone.
