For a week Shane said nothing,he just let Marissa do all the talking.
Everytime Marissa asked him something he nodded or shook his head.Marissa
would just stare at hm for a moment and then go back to what she was doing.
She didn't want to push him,she wanted him to speak in his own good time.
In a way she was scared,scared of saying the wrong thing and losing her
husband once again.
Many of the questions Marissa asked were about flying home,Shane always nodded,he nver shook his head. Marissa was over joyed. She booked a flight,she rang Vince and Linda to tell them the good news and thought her life of perfection would be restored. She didn't realise that Shane only nodded because he was trying to shut her up. That he wasn't ever paying attention to anything Marissa said. That he was in a world of his own,thinking.The thing Shane was best at.
So when it came to the day of Shane and Marissa's departure from Switzerland Marissa got the shock of her life. It was eight in the morning and Marissa was running around the apartment packing and cleaning to busy to realise that her husband was trying to tell her something important.
"Marissa.....Marissa.....i need to," shane got cut off.
"in a minute Shane i'm busy!!" That was the answer he always got so he gave up,he just went back to the bedroom and layed there thinking. A tear ran from his eye.
10:00am,time to leave for the airport.
Marissa came in the bedroom.
"Shane have you packed everything?" Marissa asked.
"no..." shane replyed.
"well come on we gotta leave...oh i'll do it!!!!!" Marissa picked up Shane's suitcase and opened it.
"shane you suitcase is empty!!!!" Marissa yelled.
"i know" Shane moaned.
"We've gotta leave now!!! We are late already.......come on help me pack if you help we'll get it done in half the time!!!"
"NO!!!"
"Why Shane? We've gotta go!!!"
"You have i haven't"
"what??"
"i'm not going,i never wanted to go.i just agreed to shut you up....i'm staying here!!!!"
"oh well,we'll have to fly back to the states another time....no rush....just we'll go when your ready.."
"We,we won't go anywhere."
"what??? shane i don't understand"
"what's to understand? I'm not going and you ARE!!! Marissa i don't want you here. I live in Switzerland now Switzerland is my country.I live on my own and i like it that way."

"So sorry you feel that way..."
Marissa runs out crying. Shane stops her.
"Marissa!!!! Marissa wait!!!!!"
"Shane,if you ever want me.....you know where i am.... At home in the U.S.A!!!!"
Marissa heads for the airport,Shane dosen't bother to stop her....he just drops to the floor in tears before throwing glass and wooden objects around the room,smashing them. and shattering them...Shane smashes a photo of him in and Marissa in a glass photoframe. When he realises he picks it up,his tears falling on the picture. he removes the broken glass from it and then begins to shake. He throws the picture at a wall and cries on the floor.
