"So, that's it then?" Mark asked, his voice flat. Maya nodded. He didn’t blink. He felt an odd detachment, an almost pleasurable numbness. He would not weep. He would not plead. He would change the locks on the house.

He would go to the bar. He would drink until he forgot everything, until Maya's name was just a hazy whisper in the back of his mind. He would flirt with strangers and make a point of being happy, of celebrating his newfound freedom.

The world was not ending. It wasn’t. It was starting. And he was going to be the first one to the party. He'd start tomorrow.
