The letter arrived, a finality that made her flinch. His farewell note. He’d left a small, handwritten message, detailing a course of action for her next project. It was kind, thoughtful, but utterly devoid of personal warmth. The letter slipped from her numb fingers, landing softly on the polished wooden floor. She couldn't understand. She sat on the floor, legs drawn up to her chest, rocking slightly. A hollow echo resonated within her, a constant reminder of the void he had left.
