Her Last Encounter

She slowly opened the door to find him sitting on the edge of the bed holding an old, wrinkled up photograph. He lifted his head towards her and was silenced by her elegant silhouette in the shadow of the doorway.

Their eyes alligned perfectly in an instant and for what felt like an eternity there was silence. Only the smile that shone from her eyes, which told him everything he needed to know. Somewhere in her heart, she was still in love with him.

Theo stood to his feet and stepped toward her, reaching out to touch her, but she pulled away and walked back down the hall.
