Eternally Yours

Hours later, I leaned my head back against the wall and closed my eyes, not having moved from the chair that Rosa had led me to. The chair shifted beside me. I opened my eyes and Rosa was still sitting beside me. I closed my eyes again and leaned back. The tears had stopped, but I was at a loss for what to do next.


"You look like shit," she said, trying to force a smile.


"Thank you very much," I said, without opening my eyes. I smiled without humor. "That's the best compliment I've had all day." Then, I opened my eyes and looked at her. "You don't look so good yourself."


She placed a hand gently on mine. "Leila, I'm so sorry."


I nodded, unable to speak as tears sprang to my eyes again. I took a deep breath as the magnitude of what had happened came to the forefront of my consciousness and the denial fell away. "Where is he?"


Rosa stood and held out her hand. "Come on. I'll walk with you."
