Following. The night held its breath.

The night continued, unhurried. We were home.

Mine. The night was far from over. And neither was she.

She finally felt she could sleep peacefully tonight. to be continued....

It was going to keep being the right word for a long time after tonight. Finally.

The Night She Finally Walked Away The final night of Elara Voss’s marriage did not end in shouting. It ended in silence. A silence so heavy it pressed against her ribs, made her breath stutter, made her hands shake as she packed the last of her belongings into the small suitcase on the edge of the bed. Outside the window, winter rain stumbled down the glass like broken glass beads. It was late, past midnight. But Damien would be returning soon. And she refused to be here when he stepped through the door.

From that day forward, we continued to live happily ever after. [The end.]

I loved walking at night especially after eating junk food- it somehow made me feel better about it. When I got back to the apartment, I showered, snuggled under my sheets and made myself comfortable, continued with our show and after about an hour of unexpected plot twists, I called it a night and thanked God for the day. We go again tomorrow.
