ASHLEYThe door had barely closed before I could feel the quietness, as a matter of fact It wasn’t just quiet …It was the kind of silence that made your heart beat faster, the kind that held the weight of words left unsaid.I stood there, frozen, staring at the door like maybe if I waited long enough, Kael would come back through it.

I sank into the chair near the table, the same one he had just left.My hands were still trembling from everything,and I didn’t know if it was from anger or from the ache in my chest.He’d left again just like he had been doing recently and somehow, it hurt worse this time.I told myself not to cry. Not tonight. But it was useless as soon the tears were about to fall.For a long while, I just sat there, staring at the cup he had left half-full on the table.
