she didn't look at him. he had been absolutely horrid. he had simply taken off to the other corner of the world and hadn't even thought to come back and see her first. "Oh, darling. I missed you so much. Sweetheart - is something wrong?" "No - it's nothing." he begged her to tell him what wa wrong. she looked at him with her intense stare. "Why don't you guess? You can't just leave me like that! You said you loved me!" "I do love you.." "If that were true you would have come and seen me before leaving again. You can't leave me for a 'year-long trip' and then just decide to stay away! I'm leaving." "No honey, don't. I... can't we talk?" "No, just come back when you're ready to stay with me for real. Good-bye."
She didn't look at him.
