How long I was on the floor I didn't know, time had no meaning for me.

The sound of muffled voices outside the front door came to my ears, but once I realized that it wasn't Jasper I lost interest. Then I heard a knock on the door, Jasper wouldn't knock, he had a key.

The voices stopped and I heard footsteps moving away. It clearly wasn't him. Realization dawned on me, Jasper didn't have a key anymore. He had left it. Now it was among the scattered items on the floor.

I let out a small strangled sob that I couldn't move from my position on the floor, I was frozen in place.
