More Than Words

Day 5: Typewriter

His typewriter rests on the desk, taking up much more space than she wanted. He claims to be a writer but, the truth is, she's never seen him type a word in the damn thing.

That day, though, there's a stack of written paper near the typewriter and curiosity takes over her. She sits on the couch with the manuscript and she loses herself in those pages, reading about characters she's never met, yet feel so familiar.

It's only when she reads the last lines, with tears streaming down her face, that she realizes she knows that story. It's hers. And his.
