After a while, she gently withdraws, her eyes widening, almost as if she hadn't been the one to invite the kiss. She gives me a thorough once-over, releasing her grip on me and cautiously stepping back. At that moment, a realization hits me like a ton of bricks—I know exactly what's going to happen.

I gaze into her eyes, searching for a hint of recognition. "Shauna...?" I murmur gently. She hesitates, swallowing hard, her gaze scanning me before diverting away.

"You're right," she utters, a hint of frostiness in her tone, "We shouldn't be doing this."

I glance her way, meeting her eyes.

"What?" I mutter, the sound of my own heartbeat filling my ears like a drum solo.

Shauna, her name echoes in my head, a plea that slips from my lips like a desperate prayer.

"Shauna, please," I whisper, the words hanging in the air between us, heavy with longing and uncertainty.

I can feel the weight of impending loss settling in my chest as I watch her, hoping against hope that she won't turn away. The silence that follows stretches into an eternity of uncertainty.

In that moment, it hits me like a wave crashing against the shore: she's going to leave, isn't she? That sinking feeling seeps in, painting the edges of my thoughts with a poignant ache.

She doesn't say more, she grabs her bag and walks out of the bathroom, leaving me there, shocked...confused....played? do i have the right to feel played? i mean, she just left, she left.

Shauna left..me

she left me.
