Third person POV
"Get out."
He doesn't contemplate the words.
He doesn't think.
He just says them.
Charlotte takes a deep breath and nods.
She doesn't protest.
It wasn't her fault, yet she pays the price.
Addie stares at the floor, and follows behind Charlotte.
Darren doesn't know what to do.
They both leave.
The man was shocked that they did so.
They didn't fight.
They didn't argue.
They didn't try to explain.
They just...
Left.
He continued to feel the tears fall from his face as he knelt down on the floor.
He placed one palm flat on the surface and the other was placed directly on his forehead.
He closed his eyes and tried to convince himself that this was all just a bad dream.
He did not want to believe that after everything they had been through, that this would mark the end of it.
He made himself sick at the realization.
