I’m ruined.

Utterly fucking ruined.

And it’s all Stace’s fault.

I am in the bathroom pretending to go to the toilet and he is packed, ready to go. I just need a minute to pull myself together.

We have had breakfast and laughed some more, although it has been strained because we both know what’s coming.

What’s worse is that I know he feels it, too. I’m not imagining it.

It’s here and it’s palpable. It feels real.

But I’m not being the needy chick that he left in Bogota. I’m going to rock this goodbye if it’s the last thing I do. I stare at my reflection in the mirror.

“You can do this,” I whisper to myself.

I close my eyes and inhale deeply. Ten minutes. Just be strong for ten minutes.

I blow out the breath and head back into the room. His suit is in its bag on the bed.

“All ready?” I smile.

He nods and gives me a lopsided smile. “I don’t know if I want you to stay here alone. Can you not go back to the US?”

I shake my head. “No, I’ve chosen my path.”

His eyes hold mine. “And it’s alone?” he questions.

I nod once. “Very alone.”

As if feeling dejected by my answer, he picks up his suit and slings it over his shoulder and we walk over to the door before he continues out into the hallway.

We gently kiss and both of our faces screw up in pain.

He pulls back and his eyes search mine. “What if you’re my person?” he whispers.

My eyes tear up because I know for certain that he is mine. “I’m not,” I whisper.

We stare at each other as mixed emotions swirl around us.

“I’m a girl you kidnapped.” I hesitate. “I’m a girl who deserves more from her person.”

He drops his head in shame and regret fills me that I said that… but it had to be said.

It is what it is.

He smiles sadly. “Goodbye.”

“Goodbye.” I smile through my tears.

He silently leaves.

As if on autopilot, I walk over to the window and place my hands on the glass and wait for him to appear down on the street below.

He appears from the building and tears roll down my face as he gets into a cab and without hesitation, leaves my life.

That hurt.
