Love Under Fire
Not after everything.
Harald leaned in and gave me a quick kiss—an automatic gesture, without the passion of before. And then he left, leaving me alone in the room, the sound of his footsteps echoing down the hallway.
When the door closed, silence enveloped the room. I sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the mirror in front of me, trying to process what had just happened. The tears began to fall again, but this time, I didn’t try to hold them back. I let them fall, one after the other, feeling the weight of loneliness wrap around me.
