What He Reveals(9)

“I’m sorry,” he said.

He kneeled down on the carpet next to me and kissed me softly on the lips.

And then he got up and walked out the door.

The tears came as soon as I heard the click of the door behind him. Heartbreak and despair overtook me, along with the kind of crying that caused my body to shake, my eyes to swell shut, my stomach to ache. I collapsed onto the floor, not caring that I was naked, not caring that I could feel my cut starting to come open, not caring about anything except the fact that he was gone.
