Fought For Quite Some Time

Sean licked his lips, readying his last question for tonight. 

"Please. I don't want us to fight with each other," Feline whispered. How soft was the tone of her voice after she said it? She couldn't stop the tears coming out from her eyes. It was like she had been trying to indulge in the pain, but she couldn't do it anymore. 

Gripping his hand hard, she tried to entwine her fingers to him and reconcile. Before she could even do it, he wriggled out of her touch. Feline got surprised by what he did, and he stared at the space from their floor. Feline could see how he stepped back. 

Feline froze in her place. She swallowed, staring up at him. Both of them stared into each other's eyes, and at that moment, Feline felt he's slipping away from her.
