In His Shadow, in His Bed
I mumbled, my head down, unable to look at him.
He stood perfectly still, his tall frame casting a long, dark shadow across my disgrace. I felt his gaze on me, on the pitiful display of my seven-year secret. He didn't say a word. He didn't bend down to help. He just watched, a silent monument to my shame.
Then, without a sound, he turned, got back into the ridiculous, fluffy white car, and drove away. The red taillights vanished into the swirling white curtain, leaving me alone in the freezing, silent emptiness.
