"Why are you still with him?"
"I don't know... there's just something that keeps drawing me back to him."

Tamara thinks she married her best friend. She thinks she found the one.
What she doesn't know might end up killing her.

She's here.
But why would she be here? Of all places?
She's scared she will say something, do something that will render her in trouble, as it's become a habit of hers since that night. She doesn't want it to happen again, never.
The way she can feel her heart dancing in her chest, harsh breaths of air going back and forth over her parted lips make her regret her decision.
There's no denying she should leave.
It would be the smartest thing to do, nonetheless, she remains still. Hand shaking like a falling leaf from a tree. It hovers over the doorknob for a while, a while too long until a familiar scent of bright grapefruit thrusted in fragrant cinnamon and masculine tobacco finds its way to her making her relish in the once comforting smell.
Sturdy arms wrap around her waist, along with soft lips dropping light peppered kisses all over her unclothed neck. They dance dangerously over her earlobe. Without a second to ponder, a warm hand guides her own as it twists the knob, sending her urgently into the room.
The blinds had been closed, similarly to the entryway where her husband had been leaning, a devious smirk tugged his lips.
Tamara stared at Tion, a replay of his fingers buried into her neck hurrying across her skin making her shiver. Tion seemingly notices the discomfort that radiates off her body, a sigh leaving his lips.
He doesn't say anything and instead walks up to his desk, unbothered by this. He takes a seat at his desk chair, facing her where she stands in the center of the room. There's nowhere to go and she feels trapped, like a prey caught by a hunter unable to move once it's been marked.
"Did you want something love?" Her husband's question makes her wonder what she is hoping for from this impromptu visit.
"I want a divorce."
She stares at him, blank expression as she holds her head high and stands her ground. This felt like the right decision to make except, she couldn't muster the courage to say it. Her voice had left her throat dry and inhabited. All she could really say was, "I wanted to know if you were free for lunch."
Tion looks at her, the hairs on her arms raising slightly but then she feels stupid for worrying when he comes to peck her forehead, fingers synching with her own.
"Where should we eat?"
Tamara thinks it over, forming rapid thoughts in her brain so as not to leave him hanging, "There's this nice looking restaurant on the other side of the road, they serve the best chicken casserole."
This is enough to satisfy him as he clears his schedule for the day, happily following her to eat.
Most days are bad, others not so bad.
Today is one of them but one can only wonder how long it'll last.
