n: the overwhelming urge to run away

And in just one moment,
Everything changes.

We go to bed as strangers.

'What just happened?' I'd ask myself.
Because I don't know.
I don't think anyone does.

There is no more sound.
No laughter.
No hint of a smile.
Just tension.

And I try to make myself as small as possible
So that I can avoid anything that may come my way.
