They stood on the sidewalk outside the restaurant. He shifted from foot to foot, shuffling restlessly on the spot. Ester ought to go. There would be no more of this tonight, there would be no more of it full stop. She reached out her hand and laid it against his cheek, held it there for a few moments before she lowered her arm, turned and left.

There was snow on the footpath, fresh snow, but well on its way to being slush. She could see in the rearview mirror of a parked car that he was still standing there, staring after her.

Somewhere within her she knew that the moment a person is not insisting and accusing, resistance becomes meaningless and superiority is transformed into weakness. Disinclination turns into loss, unwillingness into doubt. But not enough of it to make him call her back.

She followed his movements in all the rearview mirrors, seeing him shake free of his paralysis, walk across the street and enter the building, through the door to the place where he belonged.
