The last time they’d met, before he told her he was going, they sat in the park, as they had for countless Sundays before. The autumn leaves swirled around them, their vibrant hues a stark contrast to the grayness that had settled in her mood. She watched as he laughed, as he recounted a funny story from work.

She picked up a fallen leaf and examined it closely, tracing the intricate veins with her finger. He noticed her silence, and his smile faded. His eyes questioned, but she looked away.

The next day, she woke up, and made herself coffee. The smell was the same, the kitchen was the same, and the world had still shifted.
