Okay let’s see how much story I can crunch up in 30 minutes. And how many words. I am pantsing my way through this…

It was a typical morning, like this is a typical sentence. She woke up and went to the bathroom, dreading the day ahead. She stripped and started preparing the shower, and when she looked down she saw blood. Her blood. Ugh. Not today, not now. Though she was relieved, she did not like the uncomfortable feeling this will bring her. Not on the day of her date.

This is the day she has decided to break up with him. It had been lingering for so long, the Decision. It finally has to be made, and to be done. She asked him out; she doesn’t care anymore if he just went home due to overtime, or if he has a sick mother to tend to. They are going to sit through this, and she is going to say it. It has to be done today.

She chose her prettiest outfit, a flowy knee-length sleeveless dress, which shows off her collarbones. Collarbones that he has always appreciated.  She remembers as he traced his finger on it, a promising line that ends on her shoulders, and then the drop-off. That drop-off was today. She shrugged the memory off, and concentrated on her make-up. Might as well he remembers her pretty.

Her shoes. It was given by him, an anniversary present. Seven years. Seven years is a long time to be keeping a secret. Seven years is too long for a lie. The stilettos still fit her perfectly, the way his hands fit hers perfectly, the way his body fits hers perfectly. It doesn’t matter. It is all a lie.

Her cellphone rang. Gently, she pressed it to her cheeks. “Hello, honey.” This is probably the last time they’ll speak like this.

“Hey, are you sure about this? I mean, the restaurant doesn’t open ‘til 10..”

He knows.

“It has to be there, okay? We could sit on bookshop near it, I don’t care. I need to see you there.” It had to be there, on the place where it all started.
