Goodbye

[geeky_agent]

Chris hadn't slept much the night before. She had just lain awake, the fear and guilt keeping her from rest.

She had slept for a few hours in the afternoon. Only to wake up and instantly remember everything that had happened. And everything still to come.

She was lying in bed again. Chris had tried going down to the bar but the idea of trying to hold a conversation and act like everything was ok, was tiring to her. So she came back to her room and got ready for bed.

But sleep was eluding her again so she sat in bed, book in hand, and tried to concentrate on the words.

Her lips tightened into a frown. She nods but doesn't move.

I'll miss you. I shouldn't but I will.

Chris touches his face lightly, still close to him. "Take care."

He gives her a tight smile. "I will. "Take care." He pauses for a moment, then whispers, "Please, be happy."

He quickly kisses her again, then leaves the room before temptation gets the better of him, trying not to think of what he's walking away from. Trying to focus on facing the day and what it will bring.

Chris can only nod when he whispers this, frown deepening as she tries not to cry.

She watches him leave, door closing quietly behind him. She waits a few minutes for her breath to steady, then she gets up from the bed, not wanting to stay there any longer.
