Summary: "Words are very unnecessary, they can only do harm"
The following story is a mere work of F I C T I O N, meaning it is 100% made up. None of the situations described here ever happened, and even if they did, I have no way of knowing. This is not about spreading rumours or, worse, libel. The people portrayed in this story are real, but I am NOT claiming they did what I wrote. I use their "public personas" and build stories around them as if they were fictional characters.
Warm body against my back, the expensive hotel wallpaper not visible as I stare into the darkness. Silence. Less than 24 hours and we'll be home. Different towns, miles between us. I chose to go live there, thought that maybe if I didn't see you this would just naturally stop. Or so I hoped.
Your arm draped over me, forehead between my shoulder blades, still pretending to sleep. You don't want to talk. What's there to say anyway? Words would only make things more difficult. And I don't want to see you cry again. I reach for your hand and cover it with mine. I close my eyes, determined to enjoy our last night. In silence.
