Letting Go

The air was thick with the sudden silence left behind from Rose's last confession.

When it became clear to her that she would be getting no better reaction beyond the one she had been dreading for the last five years she turned for the door.

"Wait" he called out to her.

Pausing with one hand on the doorknob, she took in a deep breath.

"You're just leaving?" he sounded so confused.

Almost as if the last few minutes had left him dazed and unsure of how to proceed.

Hell, she wasn't entirely sure how they would come back from this. It was with that thought she felt tears start to gather.

"I'm not leaving Aaron," the words barely made it past her lips as she turned to take one last glance at him before she would walk out the door

"I'm letting go."
