Obsessive Love

Julia arrived to her ex husband's house where they once both lived, she opened the door with her key to collect the last of her belongings that Robert left in the hallway. As she was about to put her key down, she could hear sobering coming from upstairs. So she adventured up the stairs where she saw Robert standing on a chair with rope around his neck

She gasped then tried to slowly approach him while begging him not to take his own life, he stood there staring at her with his blue eyes while tears ran across his face, she then told him "If you come down from there we can talk about what is troubling you!".

With hesitation he removed the rope, Julia offered him her hand which he took hold of while he got off the chair and told her with still tears running down his face that a woman from his office falsely accused him of rape.

She smiled at him then said "Don't worry about it".

Now looking puzzled by what she just said he responded with "How can I?", she then grinned and said " Did you not notice how the dishes washed themselves that night?. She then kissed him on the cheek and said she will go to the police station to give her statement.

Looking now a bit more hopeful he asked her "When?".

She smiled at him and brushed it off, then when she got into her car she said "After I finish her".
