I’m
linking up this week with 100 Word Song. This week’s inspirational tune was
“Chasing Cars” by Snow Patrol. I’m picking up with the story of Henry and
Karen. You can check out their previous moment here and the rest of their story
here.
Lying
Henry
stared at the ceiling, knowing
this mistake would haunt him forever. This internship was a bribe from
his father. It was too good to pass up. Now loneliness was the price of this
privilege.
“Maybe
we dodged a bullet,” he told her. “Maybe it’s a blessing in disguise.”
He
tried not to see her touching her now empty abdomen. She was so good at being
strong, but her hope had bled away.
He’d
be back from Chicago, he had said. But it wasn’t the truth. Tears streamed down
his face as he dreamed of babies with her violet eyes.
heart ache and pain for them both...and neither seem willing to speak the truth to each other or to give in to what they REALLY want.
ReplyDeleteThe emotion here is so strong. It made sigh sadly.

So sad, but I'm glad I read it nonetheless.
