Chapter 12: Partners 'n Crime

"I thought you and Stan would be together forever." Will said as he sat next to Karen.

"So did I." she said quietly

"When does he leave?"

"Tomorrow"

"I'm sorry."

"At least we're splitting on good terms."

Will put his arm around Karen's shoulder, "Do you love him?"

"In a way, but not like I used to. We talked; we're not in love anymore. The last few years ruined it. It wasn't just Stan's fault. It was mine too."

"I'm always here."

"I know. You have always been here for me." Karen smiled resting her head on his shoulder.

"You'll get through this. You both will."

"I know. We have to."

"I'll be here for you."

"Thank you."
