A/N: Hey guys! Part 2 of my 3 part drabble series! Hope you like it!
She's right where he left her.
Sitting and staring into a fantasy cooked up by delusions of a love that died young. It's a sad sight.
He can't bear to see it any longer.
She's quiet, never bothers anyone, never says much. And she orders the same wine.
He might lose his job over this, but he brings her a rosé. She blinks when she picks it up, as if she's not quite sure where it came from and turns to him for the first time.
She's got sunken grey eyes that spell out her heavy heart.
"I…I ordered red…" Her voice is almost crackly, almost from disuse. The confusion on her face is evident and he takes the lack of anger as a win.
"I'm sorry, we're out," he replies as softly as he can.
"Out?" Her head is titled to the side, as if it's hard to believe.
"I'm sorry," he apologizes again. "But I think you'll like the rosé. If you don't, I can bring something else."
In the dim light it looks almost golden, like a pretty blush bathed in sunlight. She holds it up in front of her, obviously unsure.
He stands and waits until she takes her first hesitant sip.
"Do you like it?"
She's slow to respond, staring at the glass for a moment longer before she looks to the empty seat in front of her.
"Ma'am?"
Her eyes snap to him, they look just a tad sharper than her first glance had.
"Is it okay?" he asks, again.
She doesn't say anything, just nods. He takes it as his queue to leave.
When he looks back, she's staring around the booth, running a hand through her hair and loosening it further.
He still might get in trouble, but she hasn't said anything yet, so he hopes it's okay. The way she's slouching a little, rather than sitting straight up, and how her hair has fallen down around her face, make him think that maybe it was worth it. Maybe it was the hair pin that needed to drop.
Because they do have red wine.
A/N: Part 2: The pin that popped the bubble.
A few of you correctly guessed the song: right where you left me by Taylor Swift! The concept is just too cool not to write about, the heartbreak and how it held her hostage. If you haven't listened to it and liked this and the last part, I highly recommend you listen to it!
Part 3 coming next week and again I don't want to say too much, so I'll leave it to you. Do you get what's going on?
Please Review! I'd love to hear your thoughts!
And as always, thanks for reading!
See ya! :)
