His plan had dissolved like sugar in tea. Her back had never looked so distant!
Her long hair trailed her back, bouncing strenuously as she strode away.
/Im lost. I cant make it on my own.
Grasping her hand instinctively, he was not aware he'd given chase.
/I don't want to be alone.
He held her for a time, before she pulled away.
She walked.
With vigour in her stride.
The raindrops buzzed like bumble bees over the steel canopy. ,
It stung like acid to his warm neck.
/Im scared. Drowning. Reaching out. Holding onto everything.
She had had enough.
